After liftoff, your expert pilot will soar over Juneau for views of the gleaming
Crystal Symphony and the ruins of the gold mines that brought great fame to this city. Next, while soaring through high mountain passes above alpine meadows, be alert for
sightings of mountain goats, moose, black bears and bald eagles. As you cross the
mountainous back country, the pilot will highlight particular points of interest through
your individual headset. Soon your helicopter lands on a magnificent glacier and the pilot shuts down the engine
allowing you to step out for a personal guided look at this marvel of nature. By way of
pure indulgence, you'll even be served a refreshing glass of champagne accompanied by
strawberries. Peer deep into a crevass or observe a glacial stream that suddenly emerges
and then disappears beneath the icy surface. Under the watchful eye of your pilot/guide
you'll discover fascinating glacial features and become acquainted with the icefield's
history. During your return flight you'll see the ice spires and pinnacles of an ice fall and
glimpse the floating Dead Branch Glacier. Don't forget your camera and plenty of film for
unparalleled photographic opportunities! Approximately 2 hours (flight time is 45 minutes). |
