After transferring and checking-in at the heliport, view a safety video and be outfitted with glacier boots. Next, board a modern, turbine-powered helicopter for your flight-seeing adventure. Moments after liftoff, you will enjoy breathtaking vistas as you make your way to the awe-inspiring Mendenhall Glacier. Set amid thriving rain forests, alpine ridges and rugged mountains, the glacier’s setting is as dramatic as the glacier itself.

Your pilot will guide the aircraft over the glacier, giving you an eagle’s-eye perspective of its ice spires, blue-tinted crevasses and meltwater pools. Descending toward the landing site, you may fly past the Mendenhall Towers, amazing rock sentinels that rise nearly 7,000 feet into the air.

A gentle landing brings you to the ice itself, where you will explore the glacier’s surface with your highly experienced, knowledgeable guides. Bring your camera, because this is a wonderful opportunity to take breathtaking photographs. You might wish to bring binoculars as well, as you may spy some of Alaska’s famous wildlife.

Returning to TEMSCO base, enjoy refreshments before joining the 15-minute transfer to the pier.
