Other sightseers walk away from the camera, behind and to the right of Mertie. Beyond Mertie, the toe of a large glacier sits at center. It extends back, and up to the left. In front and to the right of the glacier, a lake of glacial meltwater sits. A snow covered mountain rises to the right of the glacier.
