1 of 27000 Glaciers in Alaska (Patreon)

Per the U.S. Geological survey, Alaska contains around 27,000 glaciers! I visited one of these ice age era relics east of Denali National Park today. Specifically, took a helicopter ride to Alaska’s Yanert glacier. You can expect much of what I filmed to be used as stock footage to represent various colder environments and glacial features in numerous future videos. I saw some sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock in the glacial moraine, 2 moose, lots of permafrost melting related landslides, and more!

I should be back to my regular daily upload schedule on July 19th or July 20th when I’m back from vacation.

Do you have any questions about glaciers?
