    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Yes
    I stood on a cirque glacier in RMNP 25 years ago.  I ate a sub and some chips and listened to the water running underneath.

    Yes.  Stopped near Jasper on the way from Calgary to Edmonton on the 2011 tour to walk around on one.  Took a cool all terrain vehicle to get to it. 
    Yessir, the Columbia Icefields and the Athabasca Glacier. We just went there in August2019. I wanted to hike to Grinnell Glacier while we were at Glacier NP but the Highline Trail tore us up (over the following few weeks, that hike caused the girlfriend to lose 6 toenails)! Anyhow, since I couldn't get to Grinnell, we paid out the wazoo to get to the Athabasca Glacier. Super cool, cold, rainy and windy experience!

    Yes, and I heard the ice cracking!
    Did a tour of the fjords up near Seward, Alaska. We got in pretty close to the glaciers. It started cracking and a huge chunk sheared off into the ocean and the tour boat had to split out pretty fast. Good size wave was heading in. We were at a safe distance but they didn't want to get rocked too bad haha.

    Yes was in Alaska for a month, 16yrs ago. Waited around for an hour or so and saw a huge chunk drop off into the water.  Also went on a glacier walk and saw my first ever ice worm.  Pretty amazing.

    We took a cruise from Seattle to Alaska last August. Many glaciers were seen from the ship, although we opted not to hop on the smaller boat to get closer cuz money, and then we did a glacier hike when we stopped in Juneau.

    I've seen a bunch from a far in the mountains here on Vancouver Island.  Also camped in the rockies a boat load times so have seen them there too.

    The only one I walked on was the columbia icefield off the highway between Banff and Jasper.   You could take a bus tour up to the toe and walk around on it.   The sad thing is that was when I was in my early teens.    We went back to it about 10 years ago it had shrunk quite a bit since I was a kid.  Can only imagine how much more it's shrunk since then.

    I pulled out a rather large iceberg from the water and was just happy I got it out.  The ship I was near asked what I was doing with it.  Hadn't though of that yet, lol.  He said that he would take it.  I told him to throw a line down and the crane hook.  I tied it up and up it went.  I still have no idea what he did with it?

    We would pull smaller pieces out and drink them when they melted.

    Under the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland- thankfully no cracking while we were under the ice... heard that later at the glacier lagoon though.

    In Iceland in 2009, the same time that I saw the Northern Lights.
    I also hiked over the Franz Josef glacier in New Zealand in 2007
