Flight over Mt McKinley July 11, 2010

On Friday, July 11, 2010, on the clearest, most cloudless, sunny day, we flew in a small 10 person plane from Talkeetna, AK over Mt McKinley. Only approximately 30% of people who come to Alaska even see the mountain - it is usually covered in clouds. We flew across the forests, up the glaciers, around both the north and south peaks of the mountain. We then used the skis on the plane to land on the Ruth glacier, where we stood on the snow in front of the highest peak in North America - 20,300 feet. It was absolutely breathtaking, and certainly the jewel of our trip. Enjoy the photos and the video........Connie and Christian

Survol du Mt McKinley.

Quelle chance! Un jour sans nuage et un charter qui vous emmene survoler la montagne avec atterrissage sur le glacier. Un vol a vous faire serrer les fesses mais c'est maintenant ou jamais. Comme les images l'indiquent, un moment unique qui sera difficile a surpasser. Nous avons pris plusieurs centaines de photos que nous graveront plus tard sur un CD.
