- Alaska Glacier Cruise
It makes perfect sense that an Alaska glacier cruise would see significant spikes in popularity among nature tourists. And this is for good reasons: getting up close and personal to the majestic sight of those amazing Alaska glaciers is what make an Alaska glacier cruise so popular.
- Melting Glaciers
If we do not take an active role in decreasing CO2 emissions, we may find that the melting glacier becomes the rule – and not the exception. Unfortunately, as with many things we undo, we cannot fix the melting glacier fields; once the melting glacier fields have been assimilated into the oceans, they cannot be returned without another major climate change.
- Glacier National Park
Keep in mind Glacier National Park is a family friendly getaway. Being ‘family friendly’ is a mantle that many tourist spots can not claim, but Glacier National Parkcan. This is an unfortunate fact, but the truth of the matter is many vacations simply are not anywhere close to what would be considered the type of environment that one would want to take to kids to.
- Portage Glacier
The Portage Glacier has been a popular fixture in Alaska since its first discovery in 1898. Keep in mind that ‘discovery’ refers to a person seeing it for the first time and, more accurately, also being crediting as the first person seeing by way of recording the documents. It is doubtful that any other group of people that walked past the glacier missed seeing it.
- Hubbard Glacier
This tidewater glacier, the Hubbard Glacier, provides a pathway for many cruise ships to travel up the water from the origins in Alaska to its end in Canada. (or, its beginnings are in Canada and its endings are in Alaska, depending where you started your journey!)
- Alaska Glacier Helicopter
How many times have you wondered what it would be like to actually stand on a glacier? If you are going to Alaska you cannot miss the opportunity to find out what its like to step out upon something so ancient, so vast, so cold. You must take and Alaska Glacier Helicopter Tour.
- Glacier Bay Boat
There are three possibilities when it comes to Glacier Bay boat tours. The options include private charters, public tours or booking a place on one of the local cruise lines.
- Glacier Bay Cruise Line
Venturing to Alaska can be a time of learning about the world in way that never presented itself before. The options that are available when exploring will surprise you. One such option is to book yourself onto the Glacier Bay cruise line for seven days of beauty, discovery and enchantment.
- Glacier National Park Canada
Glacier National Park Canada has an interesting early history. It was officially opened in 1886 only nineteen years after Canada became a country.
- Glacier Sun Glasses
Equipment that will protect you is an essential part of an adventure. Whether it’s a helmet, mountaineering boots with a hard shell, or rainproof outer clothing, you must be certain to have what you need. If you’re going on a glacier adventure, or just going skiing or snowboarding, what you use to protect your eyes is very important. Glacier sun glasses offer that excellent protection.
