Alaska - a trip to remember
Re: Alaska - a trip to remember
What a fantastic experience ( never even had time to give the the poor weather a single thought ) , we say goodbye to the captain .
And everyone disembark .
Enough is enough

Re: Alaska - a trip to remember
Yeahhh , but that's what its all about . Luck
We leave Seward Alaska with great memories . It was certainly a worthwhile visit , but , with a lot of other activities on offer , can only be better , if you stay longer . But , ahh well .... .......maybe next time . Who knows ?
But you know , Alaska has so much to offer , and having had one experience , you should always be ready should another one suddenly be offered . And that is what we got .
Nice scenery , as usual :
And then we see a sign “ Exit Glacier “ . What ? Were we inside a glacier somewhere ????
So , what do we do ? Let’s follow the road , and see where it brings us .
Hmmm , another glacier ?
And , at the end of this road , we do find another glacier . But this time , we can walk right up to the face of it . Well , not quite , but , you know what I mean ....... We’re not allowed to go on it without a guide .
Exit Glacier , is in fact the only glacier on the Harding Icefield that can be reached by road . Nobody around , take a short walk from the parking area almost right up to the face of the glacier .
Indeed . Exit Glacier

You must have seen and felt enough snow, ice and cold for the rest of your life

A once - in a life-time experience - but I am sure you will return one day
Thank you for sharing in this adventure Okie, unknown territory to me (I get hypothermia when it's below 20 deg )
Next!

An orca
and a glacier where you can get close - what a treat
