thanks Ann, it was an amazing trek :). you are right, the photo is of
the glacier's 'snout' but i wasn't making the point you thought i was.
all that *is* solid ice, covered with a thin layer of soil so it all
looks brown.
ahhh.... still - would be intresting to see a photo from the same spot
taken say, twenty years ago, fifty years ago, etc.
about the snake fossil, i've just added the only other photo i took.
hope that gives it some kind of scale:

thanks for looking. appreciate your comments...
Ok - as suspected - it's metamorphic rock.. not fossil at all
looks like schist to me... (pun thread threat) The surrounding rock
regardless of scale is the tip off but the coins help.. as did your
location. Thanks for the un-closeup.

Loved the tour --
I was glad to see the shots that were a bit more in the distance of
the mountain - that worked better for me for scale.
The portraits all very strong, but I particularly liked the one of
the tiny figure at the base of the Glacier's terminal moraine. at
least, I think that is what I'm looking at.. don't see any glacial
ice - but I guess that was your point, no?
The "snake" cries out for scale for me... looks like a metamorphic
product - I'm bothered I can just blurt out exactly what is happening
there - :-)
what an wonderful trip that msut ahve been!
