Man, that is a beautiful picture! I was going to ask you if people climb that mountain. When is the last time someone did climb this mountain, and has anyone recently ever died trying to climb it? It looks pretty formidible to me!!!

Hey T,

I’m sorry - I TOTALLY forgot to get back to this post. yes, you’re right, the Malaspina - larger than Rhode Island. And on the north side of St. Elias is the Bagley Icefield, one of the largest non-polar icefields in the world. I believe the Malaspina is also the largest non-polar glacier in the world.
Thanks.

Cheers

Carl
