Pi Island

Another magical island visit, this time to Pi Island (USGS name is Detrich Island), a rocky mount that first began poking out from the steady retreat of the glacier that covers Anvers Island on 3/14/14--hence the local name of Pi Island. It still has an ice cap covering most of it, but circumnavigating the edges was a perfect evening's entertainment.

I loved all of the olivine veins prevalent in the rocks here.

And the ice cap still covering the island hangs along its sides in beautiful, dramatic ways.

Excellent icicle farm!

We weren't the only ones who found Pi Island to be a lovely place to hang out that evening, either. Elephant Seal pups were enjoying the calm and quiet of this little spot as well.
