Christian was a great pilot and guide along the glacier. He was very informative and helped us find the best spots to be in and helped us spot some wildlife along the way. This might have been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and would highly recommend it for anyone else visiting Alaska. Would love to see it in the summer time as well but it was a real gem going on a wintery day in the sun.
