A great series, Chief. I had recently read a book, fiction, where the hero had to cross a glacier on foot. Looking at these, I would say it is highly improbable it was as easy as it sounded.
Yeah, I don't think it would be easy.
If you want to read a fascinating book about crossing and living on glaciers, every word of it factual, try to find "Arctic Adventure" by Peter Freuchen. Published by Farrar & Rinehart. A guy from Denmark doing some of the very early exploration of Greenland in the 1920's.
You will never forget it. It's funny, it's horrific, it's amazing and it's incredible!
