In the middle of a large estate with an elaborate palace, now a World Heritage Site, sits this mysterious well. Built by its millionaire owner in 1892, this eerie well was never intended to use for water but as a place for ceremonies and initiation into the secretive world of Masons. The inverted tower spirals […]
My sister and I joined a small group on an overnight glacier trekking adventure in southeastern Alaska in early August. The tour was organized through ABAK (Above & Beyond Alaska) and was lead by two fantastic guides, Samuel and Jacob. This is part two (in case you missed it, you can read Part 1 here.) We were […]
Kim,
Your words and photos are fantastic. I can only dream of making a trip like yours. We will be on a cruise in May, but my old body is not made for climbing, jumping, or slipping or sliding.
Thanks for posting.

I think you might be surprised…you don’t have to climb and jump. As long as you can hike over uneven terrain, the guides are there to help. Will you be cruising through Juneau? ABAK and other companies offer day trips by helicopter up to Mendenhall glacier. If it’s your dream, do it!!!
Kim, these pictures are so amazing and so beautiful. They take me right back. The real beauty of them is that I can see the broader picture this time without worrying about sticking my crampons into the ice securely. I would love to purchase the one of John , myself and Jacob heading back to basecamp while the rest of you went with Sam for the ice climb! Let me know how to do that please!
Hi Pat, Yes I agree—it is nice to step back and see the trip as a whole and really appreciate the beauty of where we were and the power of those intriguing moulins! What a fantastic experience it was, and such fun company 🙂 (sending you a private message about purchasing a print)
Kim, these are absolutely unbelievable photos. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER. PERFECT!!!.
I think anyone could take amazing photographs here. Lemon Glacier was truly special both on top of and inside the ice! And how incredible to think it starts with a single snowflake…
I traveled to Juneau specifically for this trip. The opportunity to spend extended time trekking across an icy glacier with dramatic crevasses and ice caves has intrigued me for many years—ever since Dave and I spent an afternoon hiking icy Fox Glacier in New Zealand. There are many Alaskan tour companies that offer overnight glacier […]
My heart is racing, seeing your pictures and reading your blog. I want to go back! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and your talents! I cannot wait for the next blog!
Thanks so much, Pat! What an adventure we had. I wanna to go back too 😉
Exhausted after a string of strenuous hikes? Or frazzled from a jam-packed itinerary trying to squeeze in as many sights and tours before your cruise departs the capital city? Despite its small size, Juneau, Alaska has remarkably much to offer. After spending 10 very active days in Juneau, there were still plenty of trails, tours and activities that […]
Grade A stuff. Thanks!
“You’re going to Alaska? Oooh, will you see any grizzly bears!?” everyone wanted to know, when I mentioned that I was headed to Juneau in August. That’s because a grizzly bear (or brown bear) seems to be synonymous with Alaska, that massive state so far, far away from those of us living in the lower […]
Great shots. Looks like a terrific trip.
Thanks, yes it was terrific in every way!
Lived in Hoonah from 1992-2004, always saw bears in various places, although your photos are prestigious amazing job. Glad you shared, on my way in Aug. 17
I’m sure you have some great stories from your time there!
Very inspirational!
Thanks for reading!
