Juneau's "drive-up" glacier is one of Alaska's most popualr attractions. This program takes you on an intimate journey around and on top of this beautiful river of ice. You'll also fly above the 1,500 square mile Juneau Icefield, birthplace of 36 major glaciers including the Mendenhall. From this eagle's eye perspective you'll take in spectacular views of rugged mountain peaks, waterfalls, and see how the Taku glacier steadily advances.
This program also explores the flora and fauna of the Tongass National Forest. You'll see spawning salmon, beavers, mountain goats, black and brown bears, and the natural beauty of this region. From rafting the Mendenhall River, to exciting glacier treks, our camera captured many of the recreational and tour opportunites. You'll join in a galcier hike, and travel with trekkers using crampons and ice axes. Look deep within "icy blue" crevasses and marvel at the amazing, unique world on top of the Mendenhall Glacier!
