Helicopter Glacier Iceberg Tour

After a 15 min helicopter flight, board a Zodiac boat and Within a few mins the massive icefall of Colony glacier come into view and we'll see the first smaller icebergs drift by. Soon you'll find yourself at the base of the glacier, looking straight up to the 150' high towers of ice. We'll listen to the ice cracking and hopefully watch some big chunks fall into the lake. There are always some huge icebergs in the lake and we will get close (as long as it's safe), usually within 100' or so. Some of the bergs are smooth and deep blue, others are rough and bright white and the shapes change daily due to erosion by sun, wind and water. Since it's an open boat you have great visibility all around, so get ready for lots of pictures of these incredible sculptures of nature. Our life jackets are fully insulated marine grade 'floater jackets', approved by the coast Guard for use on the ocean. The jackets will keep you safe and warm and have a full hood for those windy, cooler days out there.
