5 GLACIER seaplane tour - Juneau Icefield and Taku River, Alaska

DeHavilland Otter Floatplane (seaplane) tour out of Taku River in Juneau, Alaska on Wings Airways. See five glaciers: Taku glacier, The Hole-In-The-Wall glacier, the West Twin glacier, the East Twin glacier, and the Norris glacier.

The Juneau Icefield is over 1,500 square miles and consists of over 40 large glaciers and 100 small ones. Glaciers are persistent bodies of ice that form when snow accumulation exceeds ablation. Glaciers form over many years, often centuries. Crevasses and other notable features develop from stress induced by their weight. The Taku Glacier is the deepest and thickest known glacier in the world.
