Exit Glacier

It is indeed spectacular. Looking at the entire glacier in the Channel, you will find that the impact of human activities on the global climate has caused the glacier line to retreat a few kilometers over the past few hundred years, especially in recent years, the glacier retreat has accelerated.

There is a trail leading you to the glacier. It takes about an hour to walk.

The ever-evolving blue-green glacier walked on foot We parked the car in the parking lot of the visitor center and walked in the direction of the exit glacier. There was a must-pass trail in the past, and it took nearly an hour to finally arrive. Although we wore a lot of clothes along the way, But it can feel colder and colder. There are many signs on the warning road of Xiaomu. In the past, I learned that this originally recorded the location of the glacier every year, and the retreat year by year, and even the increasingly exaggerated proportions, which made us dare not look directly at it. Walking around, you can see a lot of small stones, the stone has very neat scratch marks, as if caused by glacier erosion. There are gray beaches below the glacier, mixed with sand and stone rapids. As we approach step by step, the view becomes more and more broad. Looking back, the road had disappeared into the dense jungle. Slowly approaching the glacier, I don't know why, the gap between the glaciers showed a blue and even a little green color. Because the wind was too strong, we couldn't stand it. We went into the wooden house on the side to avoid. The scenery is beautiful, but coming here is more to bring us thinking and tell us to protect the environment! Play tips: 1. It is best to come in summer, because it is really cold! 2. The walk is very long, you have to bring more water and food, otherwise your physical strength will not be enough! There are many packages that are more cost-effective, and you can also visit the local marine animal center by the way.

The natural scene of ice and snow melting most of the world's many glaciers can only be seen from a distance, and there are not many to be seen close. Alaska's exit glaciers are one of the few glaciers that can be seen on foot. The name of the glacier attracted many people's interest. It was actually because when people crossed the glacier of Harding Plain, they recorded the exit and the iceberg was named. The forest path can be directly reached by the exit iceberg. Next to the path is the fast river, which is still wrapped in many pieces of ice. However, the weather changes many times, and sometimes the water is too big due to rain, and the high tide of the river will block the path to the glacier. So whether you can see the glacier depends on luck! Now, due to global warming, the glacier has been melting, has been slowly retreating, farther and farther away. The weather in Alaska is difficult to know, and it is increasingly difficult to see the exit glacier.  Transportation: It attracts tourists from all over the world all year round, so the chartered service is also very sound. The service even includes airport transfers!  Suggestion: It is best to bring a mountaineering stick. Because in order to ensure the natural scenery of the scenic spot, it is not appropriate to create too many artificial attractions. So the ground will be a bit bumpy, there are gravel. It is safer to carry a mountaineering stick! The temperature in the scenic spot is uncertain, pay attention to adding and reducing clothes at any time.

Driving south from Talkeetna to Seward, about 200 miles, passed Anchorage and didn't enter. Before arriving at Suhad, passed the town. The town was hosting a carnival to celebrate the coming of summer. This little singer is really not simple, ten years old, self-playing and singing, or writing songs by himself! Other stalls sell souvenirs as well. After arriving at Suhuad, first go to the hotel to put down your luggage, and then drive to Exit Glacier, Exit Glacier is an open attraction, no charge. But the car can only be parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and then you have to walk to kiss the scenery of this glacier. Of course, it is not as good as grandiose and Hailuogou, but it is definitely better than the degree of closeness to the people.
