Curious how your experience has influenced, if at all, your actions regarding climate change. One of the rationales given by helicopter tour companies and Forest Service for allowing these tours is that it inspires people to act regarding climate change, but they have no actual data to support this assertion.

It has made me more aware more than anything. This was always on my bucket list to see before it melted away and seeing how fast it was melting before my eyes was pretty mind blowing.

@@MrBucketlist Excuse the delay in noting you responded. How has your awareness impacted any of your behaviors as they relate to climate change? This is a sincere question. I live a couple of miles from the Mendenhall Glacier, and have watched it recede for 60 years. I travel less, drive less, strive to consume less, and more thoughtfully.

This is the best Alaskan cruise excursion! I absolutely recommend it if it's within your budget especially if you are comfortable booking directly with Temsco. Celebrity Cruise Line were absolute thieves when booking through them. Thank you for sharing your experience! 👍
@MrBucketlist2 жыл бұрын
You're welcome Deniz! I agree. Even though I didn't have any issues I would still recommend booking directly with them as they were a really good company and deserve 100% of their compensation. I can only imagine how big of a cut Royal took.

Right and Norwegian Cruise lines were theives too. It was $80 more booking through them.

Thanks for sharing! May I know the duration of the walk?
@MrBucketlist2 ай бұрын
The walk is very short. You probably take no more than 25 to 30 steps. It's more of land on the center of the glacier which gives you a panoramic view of the environment.

Lucky you got to see the top of the mountains. When I went in early August it was way too misty.

I was surprised as well. It was a mixture of snow/rain when we were flying. Thankfully we could still see pretty good.

Also when I did this I think the ice on the glacier was deep blue and more bound to crack. I guess it changes color and consistency with the seasons.
