    Description

    A public use cabin is located near the airstrip:

    Cabin location: N61.455, W142.375
    Refer to USGS maps, McCarthy 1:250,000; McCarthy 1:63,360 (B- 4)

    The Glacier Creek cabin is 8 feet by 10 feet in size and contains a woodstove, 2 standard twin- size wooden bunks, fire extinguisher, informational bulletin board, and pit toilet. Water is available from Glacier Creek or the Chitistone River but must be treated and allowed to settle.

    This cabin is situated 18 miles east of McCarthy, about 1/2 mile south of the Chitistone River.
    Accessible by airstrip, it is situated in an extremely scenic area surrounded by towering cliffs and
    sparkling glaciers.  It offers excellent opportunities for hiking up Glacier Creek, the Chitistone River, or Toby Creek.

    There are numerous bugs; headnets are strongly encouraged during June, July, and August. Obtain firewood from dead and downed wood.

      Comment below on what you think of this video! Cubdriver: No Second Chances is the ULTIMATE off airport one-way-airstrip DVD! Loni Habersetzer is back, joined by Alaskan Guide Donald C. Martin, on a hardcore adventure as they challenge their way through the Alaska Range by Supercub.
      Focusing strictly on one-way airstrips, the true tests really begin. Cubdriver: No Second Chances is a high quality, multi-camera-angle film that truly documents not only the extreme talent of Loni Habersetzer, but the perfrmance from a well maintained Supercub, and the unforgiving land of Wild Alaska. There is no turning back on many of the strips Loni selects -- and the ice glaciers take the cake along with 'shelf' landing strips only 200ft in length. Watch Loni as his Supercub 749er nearly slips away on the glacier, plus the exstreme skills required to make proper landing decisions from the air! Over TWO HOURS of footage! DVD REGION: ALL -- Watch anywhere in the world.

      Full Flight: Alaska Airlines B737-700 Juneau to Petersburg, AK (JNU-PSG)

      Hey guys! Welcome to the first video of my experience aboard Alaska 64 & Alaska Airlines' southern Milk Run! In this video, I start by heading down to Petersburg, Alaska from Juneau, Alaska aboard one of their B737-700s. After coming down from Anchorage aboard one of Alaska's B737-900ERs, it was definitely a noticeable change inside, but I certainly think these smaller 737s fit the Milk Run routes much better in terms of capacity, even though the 900ERs are nicer inside. The ride down to PSG was around 30 minutes and had us flying roughly in the area of 17k feet. Boarding & deboarding was very smooth from back to front, the seats were good with plenty of legroom, in-seat power outlets & USB ports were available, WiFi & free IFE was offered, and the crew was amazing throughout this journey. On top of it all, the scenery was again excellent, made in large part due to fantastic weather. Hope you guys enjoy!

      If It Weren't Caught on Camera, No One Would Believe It
      You’ve once probably been in a situation where your friend tells an amazing story but you assume it's all made up because it sounds so surreal! What's more, your friend has no witnesses! But what if they do have a witness? The strangest things sometimes get captured on camera and you just can't believe they're real until you get to see for yourself. I swear, if it weren't caught on camera, no one would believe whatever were are about to unveil to you!
      15. Thunderstorm Image

      The sights in the air are spectacular from 32,000 feet. You're above the clouds, and from that point, one can observe the weather from an incredible bird's-eye view. Although taking a picture of the clouds from your seat is now normal, pilot and photographer Christiaan van Heijst does one better with his view from the cockpit whey he put his Nikon D800 to work.
      This photo was taken when Van Heijst flew close to active thunderstorms between Beijing and Shanghai. It displays powerful lightning lighting the storm cloud as the lights of a city shine underneath. Wait, how was he simultaneously flying the plane?
      14. Jacob Riglin the Daredevil

      Jacob Riglin, a 20-something-year-old photographer based in London, has taken vibrant pictures of New York City from dizzying heights. The avid traveler's Instagram page, which attracted hundreds of thousands of followers, displays colorful pictures taken high at locations such as the Manhattan Bridge and midtown towers, creating vivid city landscapes.
      This thrill-seeker took two vertigo-inducing photos of Times Square of his feet hanging from his perch on a building ledge—"sitting above the earth, "he wrote on one of the picture's captions.
      **Segway**
      Mr.Riglin here just gave Spiderman a run for his money
      13. Burj Dubai from the top

      It’s a picture of the city of Dubai set in the fog from Burj Dubai, which was at the time, under construction. This architectural marvel is considered to be one of the tallest if, not the tallest, building in the world. In Dubai where humidity can hit as high as 100 percent, there seems to be a fog that cannot be seen before the eyes. Various towers, such as the Rouen Cathedral and the Empire State Palace, have borne the label of "world's tallest building." But we are yet to see the magical fog phenomena.
      12. Smiley-faced volcano

      As seen in the event's helicopter video, a volcano that erupted on Hawaii's largest island shaped a smiley face with its lava. The volcano, called Kilauea, has been active since 1983 and has displayed its joy as its lava first entered the Pacific Ocean in three years. Since it began erupting, it has continuously traveled on a six-mile journey towards the coast.
      As with the smiley, two things happen. According to Live Science, the "chin" shapes are formed by an upwelling of hot magma through the cooler surface via convection currents. The reverse happens on the other side when negative pressure fractures and forces the warmer magma out of itself, exposing the bright spots.
      11. Tsunami Cloud

      Could it be the end of the world? That was the question on many people’s minds on that day. This horrific sight made people run from the streets to catch the amazing cloud formation.
      Well these are the extraordinary images of a massive shelf cloud that struck the New South Wales coast, Australia. The meteorological phenomenon, technically a type of arcus cloud, is a cloud wedge created at the front edge of a thunderstorm where the storm's downdraft and updraft converge. The shelf cloud seen here, nicknamed an 'air tsunami', measured several kilometers in length and swept through the city all afternoon and early evening.



      9. Flower Ocean

      In the spring, China transforms into an ocean of flowers in the Luoping countryside in eastern Yunnan. It's the time of year when the flowers of rapeseed or canola are in full bloom. To catch the beautiful sight, photographers flock to this destination-rolling hills surrounded by bright yellow flowers as far as the eye can see.
      Close to Luoping is NiuJe, where you can find snail farms or flowers grown in circular circles, following the slopes' contours. From the higher ground the farms are close to the shell rings of a snail. So surreal!
      8. Fish with human teeth

      A few years ago, images of a fish with a mouth full of square teeth appeared online, spurring online commentators to ask how a fish ended up with human teeth. The catch was made by an angler in north-west Russia, according to sources. News sources online indicate the catch made by the Russian fisherman was possibly a pacu, a piranha relative.

      Learn more about the Wrangell St. Elias National Park and visiting wilderness areas by air responsibly at the link above!

      The Wrangell St. Elias National Park is the largest national park in the United States at over 13.2 million acres. The mountain peaks in the park top over 18,000 feet above sea level with massive glaciers covering most of the mountains in the park. While it may not be as well known as Denali or Yellowstone, it rivals all parks in the United States for it extreme beauty, ruggedness, remoteness, and it is just a land of plain "extremes" in every way.
      Join us on our journey throughout the park and the surrounding wilderness to experience flying in Alaska with breathtaking views from bushplanes and helicopters.
      Whether you are a pilot, or just someone who appreciates the nature the last frontier has to offer, the Wrangells never disappoint, and should be on everyone's travel bucketlist.
      Most importantly, ensure you become educated prior to venturing out into the wilderness, whether by bushplane, raft, or on foot. The wilderness here is TRUE wilderness, and help is VERY far away should something go wrong. One of the many things that makes this place so special is that you MUST be ready to survive on your own. This is an unforgiving place to those who are not prepared.

      Crave Life Episode 31

      Don't you wish on those bad weather days if the weather would only get better? Thats exactly what happened at the Alaska Picnic Strip Fly-in 2019.

      The weather was uncooperative all day until two hours before the scheduled time, a last minute dash to the airport certainly paid off!

      The highlight was meeting Soni Khanem from @Sonikhanem channel and John Kotwicki who flies that beuatiful 170 seen all over the internet from @Fly8MA channel!

      5 Glacier Seaplane Excursion. Juneau, Alaska.

      Beautiful Alaska scenery and great way to view multiple glaciers as we flew over them in a seaplane on an excursion we took while cruising Alaska on the Carnival Legend. We boarded and landed in the bay right next to the cruise port in Juneau, Alaska.

      Thanks for dropping by my channel. Nothing to serious, just trying to make some fun video's of the places I've been and the things I've seen. Life is an adventure, hoping to enjoy the ride as much as possible. Take care out there everyone.
