This is on the Columbia Glacier above Blanca Lake Near Monte Cristo. This glacier typically has a few good moulins though usually not water filled to 60 feet of depth like this one.

The main danger is being mesmerized. if you have crampons on, these blue holes exist because the water is trapped by the completely surrounding ice walls. The solid ice is nearly vertical.
