Glaciers appear in the bottom right and flow toward Kachemak Bay which occupies the center of the image diagonally with the mouth being at the bottom left. One of the glaciers terminates into Grewingk Creek before entering the bay. Another stream empties sediment into the bay at the bottom of the image, exactly opposite from the town of Homer across the bay. The land on that side of the bay and between glaciers is all green with foliage. The waters of the bay are a mix of blue shades, but all relatively light in color.

Bits of pulverized rock carried by Alaska’s glacial streams into the shallow, productive estuary transform the bay’s color and can affect some types of marine life.
