Over beds of mud. Through icy rivers. For anyone with the fortitude of a Viking. From 4-wheel drive to a snow tank. This is really off the beaten path.
Weather is spotty and the ride is full of bumps.
You might pass an occasional snowmobile, but otherwise, being on the glacier is like walking on the moon. An almost otherworldly experience. This is a desolate beauty. There's been a dramatic jump in the number of European cruises in just the past two years along with more ships sailing the South Pacific.
