Speechlessness ensued for a bit before exhilaration took over and we began to race, make snow angels, and have a few glacier-snowball fights.\u00c2\u00a0 Our pilot, after realizing we were never going to re-board unless physically forced, eventually had to round us up, ending our recess play-time; reluctantly, we re-boarded the plane.\u00c2\u00a0 Taking off of a glacier is a little different than a typical concrete runway takeoff; mostly because of the use metal plates rather than rubber tires to get off the ground. Filled with sheer elation, we were in a strange, struck body- and mind-state for the entire flight back, allowing our very being to be uninhibitedly penetrated by the extraordinary, dream-quality landscape over which we were flying. Brilliant turquoise jewel-like glacier pools perfectly contrasted with bright white snow; forests with every shade of green blanketed the undulating mountain sides; perfect white clouds filled the vast blue-blue sky; small areas of intense oranges and reds appeared sporadically; and sunlight gleamed on dark blue rivers and lakes. In a series of deep breaths and thoughts, we were, once again, reminded of just how spectacular this world in which we exist really is; and how, when viewed from above, Earth&#8217;s geography becomes even more mystifying.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Aside from flight-seeing over the Denali National Park, taxiing climbers to Mount McKinley (the highest peak in North America, also called Denali\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcalled McKinley only by non-natives) base camp and other glacier drop-off points in the Alaskan Range is one of TAT\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s primary focuses. Paul, the owner and an experienced climber, is as passionate and knowledgeable about climbing as he is about flying, which makes TAT the perfect resource for information that climbers and other outdoor excursionists need to stay safe and be prepared. In an area of Alaska filled with endless adventure possibilities, TAT is a great source to help plan serious outdoor adventures.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/DSC_0323_edited.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/DSC_0323_edited_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0323_edited\" width=\"570\" height=\"389\" \/><\/h6>\n<p align=\"center\">Not all planes have the capability of landing on and taking off from a glacier<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/IGP3941.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; margin: 5px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/IGP3941_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"_IGP3941\" width=\"570\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Looks like little swimming pools&#8230;really, really cold swimming pools<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen159.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen159_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kristen 159\" width=\"432\" height=\"570\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Alaska:\u00c2\u00a0 Land of Extremes and Contrasts:\u00c2\u00a0 Wind and Sun, Snow and Rain, Heat and Cold<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen153.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; margin: 5px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen153_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kristen 153\" width=\"570\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Turquoise jewels<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen154.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; margin: 5px 5px 5px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen154_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kristen 154\" width=\"432\" height=\"570\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Glacier with volcanic ash<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/IGP3932.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/IGP3932_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"_IGP3932\" width=\"432\" height=\"570\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Alaska has a more lakes and rivers than any other state, with a total area more than the entire land area of Massachusetts and Vermont combined<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/DSC_0327.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/DSC_0327_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0327\" width=\"570\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Three happy Musketeers<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen160.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Kristen160_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kristen 160\" width=\"570\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">View from Above<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, sensations created by certain experiences simply cannot be put into words.
