5.00This glacier hike🧊 was truly an unforgettable experience — it felt as if I had stepped straight into the outer space landscapes of Interstellar. The vast ice fields, deep crevasses, and surreal blue tones made the journey both thrilling and dreamlike. Special thanks to our amazing guide, driver, photographer, and ultimate morale booster — Cerisa. Her energy, knowledge, and warmth lit up the entire trip. From sharing stories and scientific insights along the way, to encouraging us through the hike, to capturing the moments on camera, she truly made this adventure so much more meaningful. Beyond the glacier itself, Cerisa also took us to enjoy the stunning autumn scenery of Alaska — golden forests🍂, winding rivers, and endless mountains that will stay in my memory forever. Absolutely one of the best trips I’ve ever joined!
