Columbia Glacier

The feeling of the Colombian glacier is extremely shocking. The glacier area is very large. When you take a boat on the glacier and approach the ice, you can feel the beauty of nature. It cannot be described in words, and the photos taken by the mobile phone cannot show its magnificentness.

Travel to the world-renowned Colombian glaciers, take a giant snowmobile to the surface of the Atabasga glacier 300 meters deep, and touch the relics left by the second ice age, a rare encounter in a lifetime.

I have long heard that the best place to experience glacier kayaking is in Valdez. We chose the glacier kayaking activity of Anadyr Adventures (https://anadyradventures.com/day-trips/). After detailed inquiries, we learned that there are 2 places to choose from kayaking: Valdez Glacier and Columbia Glacier. Columbia Glacier is the largest glacier, and when the lake will float large and small icebergs. So we chose to participate in the 8:00 am to 5:00 pm kayaking activities in Columbia Glacier. First take the boat for 2 hours to the bay below Columbia Glacier, and you can see seagulls, seals and whales on the way. Then kayaking for 4 hours under the guide. Take a lunch break on the shore at noon and kayak for 2 hours in the nearby glacier lake after dinner. The scenery here is spectacular, the icebergs are beautiful, and the kayaking experience is exciting.

This should be considered Valdez glacier, close to Valdez, can be reached by boat in an hour, Colombia glacier is bigger and more shocking, but it takes a long time to get there, we don't have that much time. The first time I walked on the glacier, the tour guide was very responsible to try to determine which one could go and which one could not go, and then tell us. To visit these glaciers, you basically have to report a group. You don't have tools such as boats, and it's a bit dangerous.

Colombia's ice sheet is the largest relic of the world's largest ice sheet outside the Arctic Circle. It is beautiful under clear skies because of the high density of ice in the glacier. The snowmelt flows to the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic seas respectively, and is a natural treasure formed through four ice ages. It is worth visiting.
