Here is information on the glacier we hope to visit when we reach Juneau. It involves a helicopter ride and a walk on the ice. After growing up in a city where there are only two seasons -- winter and the Fourth of July -- I never thought I'd be interested in walking on ice again. But this is different. It's very old ice. At our age, we're growing increasingly tolerant of old things.

Glacier is very cool - like a river of ice. Tour guides are very knowledgable and the effects of global warming will be very evident. Have fun !!
