Best Glacier Views
This flight plan probably has the best glacier photogrammetry of any I’ve found yet. It flies over the Mendenhall glacier immediately out of Juneau. There’s a long stretch of snow across the top of the glacier, but there’s more great views when you fly over the crest and come down over Berners Bay glaciers.
