See crevasses from the ice — cracks, moulins, ponds and streams on Herbert Glacier, the pilot walking you around for 20–25 minutes after the helicopter shuts down. From the air they are lines. On the landing they are the ground you do not step in. This is the walk both Juneau tickets sell, not a look through the window only.
The shared Juneau glacier landing and the private landing both put you here. Same glacier, same kind of walk. Private is your group on the ice; shared can be more than one helicopter meeting on the pad. You do not need crampons in the copy — boots that go over your shoes are provided. You do not dogsled.
You do not jump the cracks and you do not drink from a promised stream, though glacier water is part of how some landings are told. Follow the pilot. The ice is wet, cold, and uneven. Rain gear if the day is wet.
The extra of private is quiet on the same crevasses, not a longer walk. The extra over an air-only canyon flight is that you stand next to the ice instead of above it. Queenstown’s alpine pad is a mountain; this is a glacier walk.
Glacier landing is the stop. Herbert Glacier is the ice. The Juneau Icefield is how you got here. Tongass is the forest on the way.
No lap children. Accurate dressed weight when you book, including boots and clothes; you are weighed at the hangar. Under-reporting can cancel you with no refund. Six standard seats per ship. Seasonal, weather-moved, 45-minute buffer if you are off a ship. The private ticket walks the same cracks with your own group; the shared ticket can share the ice with another ship.
Book the Helicopter Glacier Landing and see the crevasses from the ice.
