This is Lamplugh Glacier in Glacier Bay.
The glaciers are dirty from picking up rocks & sediment on their way down the mountain.

Margerie Glacier with a boat in front to show the size.
The snow & ice falling from the glacier is called calving.
Calving starts with loud pops as the ice cracks and then thunderous sounds as the ice falls into the sea.
