USA On Mendenhall Glacier
Hiking on a glacier while seeing the ocean is a very special experience. It is only possible in three spots in the world: Patagonia, New Zeeland and here in Alaska.
Photography Tips
There is a variety of opportunities from details of the glacier to the vast landscape. My recommendation is: bring a 24-70 with polarizer. Since you have to take a help you might be very limited in what you are allowed to bring. Your own pack is normally not allowed.
Travel Information
Book a glacier hike with one of the tour companies out of Juneau. You will be shuttled to a help port outside of Juneau and the fly up by helicopter.
