This morning, gt ready for the Alaska tour finale, a 10 AM adventure will take you aboard an airboat ride to Lake George, the base of Knik Glacier. Lake George, an ice berg dammed lake was once responsible for floods of cataclysmic proportions. Knik Glacier, 28 miles long, 6 miles wide and over 1000 feet thick, is one of Alaska's grandest natural attractions. Knik Glacier, born in the Pleistocene Glaciation period (the beginning of the Ice Age) 600,000 years ago, covered the Anchorage bowl and the entire Cook Inlet. While it remains active, this glacier is in a constant state of change. Knik Glacier always turns out to be a trip highlight. Every adventure eventually draws to a close, so here is where we wish you a safe flight home, as we provide your transfers to the Anchorage airport.
