From the image archives: The Matanuska Glacier in Alaska

in photography •  7 years ago 

One thing we loved about Alaska is how convenient the glaciers are to visit.

This one is the Matanuska Glacier, north of Anchorage, just off a main highway, you can drive right up to it.

And once you've signed the waiver, you can walk all over it too…

In fact, you can stop for a picnic on the glacier if you want.

Now that's convenient.

WOW I love the photos a lot of memories :) I've been in Alaska in 2007 and it was the best time ever. I hope I will go again :) Greetings

We hope we can go again too, it was one of our favourite places in our travels!

How interesting to be in the limits of human life over the earth. The black cracks on the vast ice are impressive.
