The 27-mile long Matanuska Glacier provides many opportunities to get up close and explore the river of ice that carved out the Matanuska Valley.
GLACIER VIEW, Alaska - Nearly 22,000 years ago, the Matanuska Glacier ’s terminus once reached the north end of Anchorage.
At 27 miles long, the Matanuska Glacier has stood the test of time with endless opportunities to explore and immerse yourself in the beauty of a geological feature that continues to sculpt our land. It’s a hallmark of the region that led Fleenor to Alaska 15 years ago for a summer job. Will Strain, with MICA Guides, headed a walking tour across the icy field, showing off candle ice, thixotropic mud, and even an area surrounding the glacier where oil was seeping up from the ground. One of the best parts about the tour is that it’s accessible to pretty much anyone.
One does, however, need a bit of the spirit of an explorer — and those who love an adventure are likely to love this, too. MICA Guides offers options for scenic tours, with the two partnering up to provide ample choices for visitors.
