For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

lived in Alaska for 20+ years.... never saw water THAT color, maybe a whale threw up.

Don't worry about that, it's probably just a glitch in the matrix.

Lifelong Alaskan.

I worked for two summers as a guide on boats that would take people to these glaciers.

First off, the colors are WAY over-saturated. It looks nothing like that. The ice colors are almost right. But the water should be 90% gray, with a tinge of teal. It's not blue, it's not green. Glacial water is murky with silt.

Second -- that is NOT a majestic Alaskan glacier. That's a pitiful glacier which has one foot in the grave.

Pic related. My job was an 8-9 hour boat ride to the South Sawyer glacier in tracy arm fjord, 60 miles south of Juneau. In the pic, we are half a mile from the face of the glacier, and a chunk the size of the empire state building is falling into the ocean. Everything from the corner of the wheelhouse roof to the guy in the red coat's head is calving.

EDIT: This is not the mendenhall glacier in Juneau. My best guess is that it is a glacier we used to pass in glacier bay, located here: http://imgur.com/ZT4J7

If I swim in the water, do I get super powers?

[–]Howard_Beale 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sure. If you consider hypothermia a super power.

Does look like Mendenhall... I've been under that Glacier!

[–]Geech 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think that's mendenhall, looks like Davidson glacier to me.

[–]BurningSquid 1 point2 points ago

Added to the bucket list.

Sad thing is that glacier used to be so much bigger than that just 100 years ago.

[–]drunk_otter 0 points1 point ago

Fake.

You have to be playing on creative to find that much diamond at sea level.

[–]MrPoePoe 0 points1 point ago

Well I can safely say that I no longer wish to have clean fresh bottled glacier water...lol!

BTW OP, I think both your versions look good. Some people just want to nit-pick.. I've seen water that greenish color before...

Mendenhall! I've been there. It's amazing.

[–]farmthis 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm afraid that's not the mendenhall! close though--I think this is located in Glacier bay, about 50 miles west. about 3/4 of the way up glacier bay, to be exact.

This is an amazing photo - the water is green and the ice is blue. Beautifully.

[–]EagleBurn -1 points0 points ago

I saw this on a cruise, the water and the clouds were not green though...everything was white.

YOU WOULD NOT THINK THINGS THIS MAJESTIC WOULD BE IN THE USA

[–]seafoamstratocaster 0 points1 point ago

You're kidding right? North America is beautiful.

[–]tecksbuk -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's because Alaska isn't in the USA! (;

[–]farmthis 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

people who are downvoting -- you would not BELIEVE how many Americans off the cruise ships want to know what currency we take.

It's bizarre.

[–]tecksbuk 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks for backing me up on this! Nothing makes you feel more like a foreigner than being asked "Do you take American money?"
