����The last glacial period of a world of ice and snow on the earth most of the already ablation, one hundred thousand glaciers are still frozen in Alaska alpine valleys. Here, nature is the last frontier, is has not yet been advancing step by step of human industry to tarnish the last piece of pure land.
Alaska Canyon����Across the frozen time
Strong self introduction says: "I am Paul, the airline desk, and Porter, is your pilot today." See I was sweating profusely, Paul grinned: "don't worry, you are my only passengers, you don't come, I won't take off......"
Unless it is hell-bent seafarers, in addition to the coastal towns and don't want to go into the Alaska step, that sooner or later, you will find that you stand in the anchorage Airport lobby.
Leap in the ArcticThere are some people dare not believe, although Alaska is remote, anchorage airport isThe United States of AmericaIn one of the busiest airport. Here is the springboard over the Arctic polar routes, a lot of passenger and cargo aircraft taking off and landing refuel here. While the vast Alaska road at,TravelingHere in the towns and villages, most of the time, can only rely on the skill of the pilot small aircraft to complete.
Alaska is the United States of America "the fly", is also the United States most of person who can fly. Here, have a pilot's license and driving license of the people as normal.
Landing in Anchorage flight was late, take off time has been very close to the connecting flight. Dragging a heavy shooting equipment, walking and asked about the tickets that have never heard of the airline, after a repeat of the way, finally found the airline counter in a corner of the airport at the bottom. I received the strong self introduction says: "I am Paul, the airline desk, and Porter, is your pilot today." See I was sweating profusely, Paul grinned: "don't worry, you are my only passengers, you don't come, I won't take off......"
Glacier details take in everything in a glanceMy destination is Glacier Bay National Park adjacent to the town Jiasitai Wu (Gustavus). I was a few years agoLinerBeen there, I would choose to watch where the glaciers from the air. Jiasitai Wu Zhen is a small Cape countless years ago glaciers launched, about a hundred families, there is no way to there, flying is the only option.
A small plane travel itself is a special experience, are saved security, need every passengers and all the luggage and got some scales, guaranteed not to overweight take-off. No boarding bridge, no car ferry, and Paul went straight to the apron. It was a single engine, six Cessna 207, pilot and my back, my luggage and other necessary materials into the town, the cabin was full of.
Take off before it is entered into the mountains of Alaska, because the distance is not very far away, our flight level is not high, often from the mountain side slowly. Used to take the cruise altitude of 10000 meters of large passenger aircraft, from plane to see the ground, do not have a view. The sun through the clouds overhead cast in the mountains, Xiaguang 10000. Fast to Jiasitai Wu, has the window to see the valley glacier surging out of road, and holding a glacial ridge but not the greenery. The huge mountain, small aircraft, floating in midair, completely lost the sense of scale space, always feel that mountain, the glacier, just open the windows now available.
Glaciers, ice river, originated from the top of the mountain all the year round icing, is gravity traction, a little along the valley spread down, solid water, of great momentum of ice flow, surge high and sweep forward, frozen in time. The aircraft wing, turned a ridge, a huge glacier coming. Paul lowered the flying height, glacier details, still in the wave refraction. In the valley of ice flowing slowly, the ground on both sides of the mountain. Gravel into the ice, into two glaciers in the striped, extension, extension, and two glaciers rendezvous place, adjacent to the black line will be made one, each will be quite distinct from each other. The glacier.
