Flightsee

On Thursday the weather cleared up and we finally had a chance to go on a flightseeing trip over the Knic glacier. We went in a float plane and took off from a lake near the airport. It was really nice, we saw mountain goats, and beluga whales and of course beautiful mountains and valleys from a perspective you don't usually get. The flight was great, not bumpy at all and the pilot explained everything really well. It is just amazing that these huge rivers of ice (the Knic is three miles across) are flowing down these moutains dragging huge rocks and grinding them into fine silt...
Denali even behaved and showed itself out in the distance, very cool.
