See it from the air
Always wanted to walk or climb on a glacier and explore the unique landscape of ice? Here is your chance! Immediately after take-off you are surrounded by the towering peaks of the Chugach Range. The massive Knik Glacier is straight ahead, an impressive 28-mile long, six mile wide river of ice. Look at Dall sheep, mountain goats, moose and bear on the steep mountain slopes on the way to this frozen wonderland.
Explore a glacier!
You’ll fly over The Gorge where a 100 feet high vertical ice wall creates a narrow passage into Lake George. Next you will land on the glacier, right in the middle of some of the most amazing mountain scenery in Alaska. One of our mountain guides will explain all about the special gear you will be issued like crampons and an ice axe. After a final safety check you will venture out onto the ice and gain a unique perspective of this frozen landscape. See crevasses, melt-pools and stunning ice sculptures created by water, wind and sun. You can choose the adrenaline level: from mild hiking and sightseeing to vertical ice climbing. The time on the glacier is 2, 4 or 6 hours, depending on your appetite for adventure. On the way back you soar over places few others ever get to see like the wild, vertical cliffs of Mt. Gannett. Bring plenty of film or media cards for your camera!
