Description:
Glacier Flightseeing Adventure!
Come on an unforgettable floatplane flight over 75 miles of lush Alaskan wilderness
Just
outside Juneau's back door lies the 1,500 square mile Juneau Ice field,
caused when the annual snowfall exceeded the summer melt. The huge,
jagged cracks are crevasses which result from the solid ice mass
breaking up as it flows like a river through mountain valleys. The
unique blue color is caused by the purity of the ice and the extreme
pressures during the formation process. This pure ice absorbs all the
colors of the spectrum except blue, which is reflected back.
- Any and all required gear provided

Mendenhall Glacier Flightseeing Tour via Helicopter
High in the mountains behind Alaska's
capital, the Mendenhall Glacier spills from the Juneau Ice field. Journey beyond
the rain forest and alpine meadows to trace the flightseeing 12-mile glacier as
it flows from a 1,500-square-mile natural reservoir of snow and ice. Fly past
aqua-colored crevasses, jagged ice spires, thousand-foot icefalls, dramatic
peaks, and several types of glaciers. Then land on the glacier to explore its
surface with our expert guides. There's no better way to experience this natural
wonder
