Portage Glacier Adventure in Alaska with Fran West

There are thousands upon thousands of glaciers in Alaska and the Portage Glacier is one of them. Fortunately, it's an easy drive from Anchorage.


Once you arrive at Portage Lake you board the vessel, Ptarmigan, to head up to the glacier.

Blue fingers of ice reach up towards the sky as other sections of the glacier break off and crash into the water below.

No glacier walking here but plenty of photo opportunities with a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and brightly coloured wildflowers.
