Here's where I work for the summer. The big brown and blue building is our hanger where the helicopters get worked on. You can partially see a white building behind it. That's where I spend all of my time sitting at the desk :)
This is "Man Candy", one of our fantastic pilots. I call him Noah heh heh. Out the window you can see the Mendenhall Glacier and the lake it spills in to. Following the lake is "the valley" where I used to live.
This is a new look at the Herbert Glacier for me. I'm so used to seeing it from the ocean. It was awesome to see it from this angle and watch it meet the sea.
Some of the spectacular mountains not many people get to see. Typically we only take people to the Mendenhall. Going to the Gilkey Glacier is really a huge treat for everyone. I was super blessed this day.
These are the ice falls. Meaning, this is where the glacier really starts picking up speed (relatively speaking) and flowing down the mountain.
It's like another world up there!
Just a little perspective to compare the helicopter to the mountain there. You can also see a few nunateks up there :) ("the lonely ones" - the bits of mountain that stuck up above the ice during the ice age. They weren't carved down by the constant friction so they're sharp and pointy)
Another look at the ice falls.
I snapped this as our helicopter was taking off. These are a few of our guides that get paid to chill up here all day and hike around :)
A little look at the Juneau Icefield. A great illustration of how nunateks were formed so long ago.
View from the chopper.
If you look closely you can see how the ice and snow litterally flow like water. Even though it's too slow to see, you know its moving like a river.
My old home :) Allen Marine dock on the far left and some of our boats coming in and out. Alaska Marine Highway Ferry terminal on the right.
Mom, lets do something. I'm bored.
Seriously Mom. I'm really bored.
My favorite boy and girl :)
Just another day in paradise :)
A couple of Stellar's Sea Lions. First time I've seen them this year :) Was like breathing again :)
Bears!! You may see the closer one on the right side. This is the cub. Mama bear is back in the bushes on the left side :) We saw them while driving out the road. Was a rare treat!!
After the bears we saw this little marmot on the side of the road checking out the traffic :)...which there was none of :)
Not a bad daily commute (mines not quite this gorgeous. This is about 45 miles from my house, but it's breathtaking, and rejuvinating.)
My little man loves swimming in the sea. He's soaked right now :)
Laying on the docks catching some rays, and my breath, after a weeks work. This is what I sat up to :)
This is for Kattie :) Wish you were here.
