On Saturday September 17th we rode the Alaska Railroad to the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop. Our expert guides from Ascending Path met us for the short trip to a lake where we donned head gear and kayaked two miles across a frigid ice filled lake.

The 28 degree water is deadly cold. No matter how good a swimmer you may be you do not want to flip over without a drysuit.

The ice is 10,000 years old and showing its’ age.

All geared up and ready to go.
