Climbers captured spectacular pictures of ice appearing to glow blue as they descended 5,280ft into a glacier in Alaska.

American glacier trekking guide Jared Carlson snapped the eerie pictures a quarter of a mile into the Mendenhall Glacier, in Juneau.

The 36-year-old was joined by fellow climber Jason Nelson, 37, as the pair explored the moulin, which is a circular, vertical well-like shaft within a glacier.
