First glimpse of the Hyas Creek Glacier Basin

This is the first sight upon gaining the lower basin above the Hump. It really does look other-worldly when you're there in the middle of it. Notice the smooth wall up ahead with a small waterfall coming down the middle of it. This is the rather "mundane-looking" 100-200 foot wall that you need to get above to reach the upper basin and the Hyas Creek Glacier remnants - 8/31/2008.
