Summer Features - Matanuska Glacier
Summer tours walk on top of the glacier (the supraglacial regime) where lakes, crevasses, moulins, and other supraglacial environments can be explored. Walking inside tunnels and crevasses is usually limited to winter when conditions are more broadly frozen, but occasionally crevasses or tunnels become accessible in the summer. The features on the glacier change every few weeks so there are always new things to discover.
Winter Features - Matanuska Glacier
The glacier feels like a different environment in the winter than in the summer. Winter tours walk through the proglacial area (in front of the glacier) to access the ice face and walk inside frozen crevasses and tunnels. Come explore the ice during all seasons. We are open every day of the year!

Social Responsibility
Donating to Alaskan Charities
Dr. Sarah's Alaska Tours donates a portion of yearly profits to Alaskan charities. Society can be measured by how we treat the most vulnerable among us (children, elderly, animals, etc.). We love Alaska and believe in giving back to this amazing state. Donations this year will support a shelter for homeless youth and a dog rescue group.
