Worthington Glacier Hike - Northern Ridge (Right Side), Valdez, Alaska
This video is NOT of the Worthington Glacier Ridge Trail which is a steep marked trail to the left, this video, which has both pictures and embedded videos, is of a very aggressive hike that follows up Worthington Glacier along the northern ridge (Right side when looking straight at the Glacier), it uses cables to cross the water and then climbs up to the top of the glacier with no trail markings.
Use extreme caution if you decide to go up the right side using the cables!! This hike had some difficult sections and I would highly recommend a buddy system.
Worthington Glacier State Recreational Site is near Thompson Pass, 28 miles northeast of Valdez on the Richardson Highway.
This site is now operated by Valdez Adventure Alliance, previously known as Levitation 49 according to Alaska Department of Natural Resources - Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation web page.

National Park Lake Clark | Lake Clark National Park and Preserve an American national park Alaska
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is an American national park in southwest Alaska, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The park was first proclaimed a national monument in 1978, then established as a national park and preserve in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
The park includes many streams and lakes vital to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery, including its namesake Lake Clark.
A wide variety of recreational activities may be pursued in the park and preserve year-round.
The park protects rainforests along the coastline of Cook Inlet, alpine tundra, glaciers, glacial lakes, major salmon-bearing rivers, and two volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna.
Mount Redoubt is active, erupting in 1989 and 2009.
The wide variety of ecosystems in the park mean that virtually all major Alaskan animals, terrestrial and marine, may be seen in and around the park.
Salmon, particularly sockeye salmon, play a major role in the ecosystem and the local economy.
The Kvichak River is the world's most productive watershed for sockeye salmon.
Large populations of brown bears are attracted to feed on the spawning salmon in the Kijik River and at Silver Salmon Creek.
Bear watching is a common activity in the park
No roads lead to the park which can only be reached by boat or small aircraft, typically floatplanes.
The major settled area in the park and preserve is Port Alsworth on Lake Clark.
Five other settlements are within the park, populated mainly by Dena'ina natives.
Prior to the park's establishment, isolated cabins were scattered around the region, the most well-known belonging to Richard Proenneke, whose films documenting his solitary life at Twin Lakes were made into Alone in the Wilderness in 2003.
Lake Clark was proclaimed a national monument by President Jimmy Carter using the Antiquities Act on December 1, 1978.
Lake Clark's status was changed to national park and preserve in 1980 by Congress, and about two-thirds was designated wilderness.
While both sport and subsistence hunting are permitted in the national preserve lands, only subsistence hunting by local residents is permitted within the national park.
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve covers 4,030,015 acres at the base of the Alaska Peninsula in southcentral Alaska, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Of the total area, about 2,637,000 acres lie in the park and 1,400,000 acres in the preserve.
The park and associated national preserve extend from the Cook Inlet across the Chigmit Mountains and the Neacola Mountains, on the northern end of the Aleutian Range, and on into the Alaska interior.
Lake Clark is the largest lake in the park, on the southwest corner of the park.
The national preserve lands adjoin park lands on the west, offering both subsistence and sport hunting, in contrast to parklands, where only subsistence hunting by local residents is allowed.
The extreme southwest section of the preserve includes Alaskan Native corporation lands, which are not open to the public.
Most of the park section is designated as wilderness.
The eastern part of the park near the Cook Inlet includes two active volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna.
A third, Mount Spurr, is just outside the park to the east.
The chief river in the park is the Kvichak River.
Another large river, the Tlikakila River, runs across the park from its source at Summit Lake to Lake Clark, emerging from the lake and the park as the Newhalen River
The park is not accessible by roads.
Access is solely by air taxi or by boat along the Cook Inlet coast and Lake Clark.
Since much of the movement in the area is by air, the mountains present a significant barrier to air traffic.
Lake Clark Pass, at 1,050 feet provides a way through the mountains by air at low elevation, and is the main route between Anchorage and western Alaska
The main inhabited place in the park is Port Alsworth on Lake Clark, with a Park Service visitor center and a number of privately operated lodges.
Air taxis make regular trips between Port Alsworth and outside communities.

Kayaking Alaska - Prince William Sound [FULL HD]
After a few years of thinking I would never see my original Alaska video in HD, I was happily surprised to find that I have the originals files that can now be viewed in full HD. :)
From the original upload:
A compilation of 6 days 6 nights camping and kayaking in Prince William Sound, Alaska. August 2012 left from Whittier to Blackstone Bay and Surprise Cove. All footage was shot using a GoPro Hero 2. There was a certain rhythm to this unique experience that I attempted to capture with the footage and editing.

Some may need to find a safe space and hug a teddy bear after watching this video bahahhahahha
Alaska's Columbia Glacier
Alaska is littered with glaciers. One of the largest is Columbia Glacier, near the Valdez area. As you'll see here it's an awesome sight and must be visited via a private boat or cruise. Still it's worth the trip. Icebergs litter the bay and sea otters can be seen on the journey.
Spencer Lake and Icebergs
A little float up to the Spencer Glacier face, which terminates in Spencer Lake. Which is constantly moving and breaking off icebergs, mostly in the summer months. The VR was filmed on a chugachadventures.com boat with Ari Stiassny.

Iceberg Hopping: Alaska's Prince William Sound
The Columbia Glacier is the most frequently visited glacier for those visiting Valdez, Alaska. Meanwhile, it's retreating quickly and often releases a large ice field into Columbia Bay. We found one of 1000s of icebergs floating towards Prince William Sound and decided to hop aboard to explore. This iceberg was the size of a tennis court and floating in more than 1,200 feet of water.
Stop by the Bridal Veil Waterfall! Waterfall Hiking in Alaska. That hair tho!

Alaska & Yukon 2009 - Kenai Fjords glacier tour & sea kayaking near Columbia glacier, Valdez
This video shows the Kenai Fjords glacier tour near Seward, Alaska. Followed by a sea kayaking tour from Valdez to the Columbia glacier in the beautiful Prince William Sound during my 2009 holiday in Alaska & Yukon.
