The first two glaciers we landed on weren't really anything to write home about. Don't get me wrong, the views were spectacular. I guess they save the best for last, because that was definitely one to write home about. This one made you feel like you were one with nature and totally submersed into the experience. It is one I will never forget. Our pilot WYATT, was fantastic. Such an amazing young man and perfect tour guide. If you have a little extra money, it's worth the experience. We had to come in a little early as the weather was starting to get worse, but hey, at least we got to go.
