Operated by Alaska Helicopter Tours · Seward, Alaska
The rotors bite into cold Alaskan air and the town of Seward thins beneath you—sparse roofs giving way to a coastline of granite teeth and the deep blue of Resurrection Bay. Within minutes the helicopter banks over a patchwork of fjords carved by glaciers and the sound of the ocean becomes a steady companion. The first landing drops you onto a remote beach at the mouth of Bear Glacier Lagoon; enormous floes the color of old glass drift in turquoise water while the glacier looms, a vertical wall of compressed ice.
