Fabulous and one of the most memorable parts of the Alaska trip. Like one of our guides said - "99% of the people who cruise to Alaska will see the Mendenhall Glacier from the visitors center, miles away. You're the 1% that gets to see it in person". You get to be that 1% - in the best sense of that often quoted percentage. This s a superb experience: Canoeing to it, walking on it and even being inside an ice cave. I still think of this amazing glacier and how I felt that day: Something bigger than me, all of us and above it all. The rowing part can get a bit tiring but it's well worth it.
