I hear there are two Beaver at the lake where you take your float plane pics, but one of them had a problem taking off and crash landed upside down just feet away from a lake across the road.

Oh and I would like some Fairbanks pics please I'm gonna be up there in January.

They had a crash a couple years ago. I haven't heard any crashes recently. I'll call home and find out.

Oh I heard this awhile ago (shortly after you posted those pics), it must have been the one years ago. Sorry.

One of the coolest places that the ship took us was the Harvard Glacier. It was the only advancing glacier that we saw. It is 300' tall & though the pictures may make it look small, we were about 1/2 mile away from the face. Right next to it the ship would've been dwarfed. Actually come to think of it the glacier extends all the way down to the bottom of the valley. So in essence it is 600' tall.






All the little dots on the ice floes are seals.
