Grey and wet and melting

Today it was incredible to see how much snow has melted overnight. It was a grey and wet day and we wanted to walk across our field site to the glacier but it was raining too much and with visibility decreasing we decided to return. The whole landscape below about 20m down to sea level looks so different now – grey, gloopy glacial rocks and mud and there is so much meltwater rivers and streams have formed and now we can see the lagoon areas and former beach levels really clearly. It is amazing how quickly the snow melts once the temperatures hover around zero.
