Glacier Biking

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted March 23, 20121,299 views23 comments

Winter biking is very popular here in Alaska and it is a great way to get to areas that you can't during the summer. This image is from a recent trip to the Knik Glacier. Biking around and in glaciers is alot of fun and only really possible during the winter.

Very cool, indeed. A real winner. I've seen many "people-in-ice-caves" type of shot, but this one is very different.

The whole idea's amazing to me, your wonderful image tells the story very well Carl.
