Seeing the glacier up close and getting our photo made with a glacier in the background. The pilot was very confident and found a bear for us to see.

The view is amazing, a unique experience. I thought that 15 minutes of flight would be little, but it is more than enough to have an idea of the size of the glaciers of the landscape.
