Once nuzzled into down low below this little ice bridge, I was able to get about 3-5 clean photos before getting drenched from a wave. A small wave, but enough to soak the camera and gloves.

I continued taking a few photos, and either out of not being able to dry the lens, forgetting to, or whatever else, the rest of the photos looked hazy and blotchy from a wet front element.

The remainder of the photos had this hazy view to them.

For context, here is a wider view showing the ice bridge. These bridges are common this time of year as the ice shelf thaws.
