That aside, I lived in Alaska during the year it became a state and was extremely fortunate to see my first glacier, Portage Glacier - in fact, was able to actually walk on it. (I understand that today, Portage Glacier would not be as accessible to foot travel.) That experience of living in Alaska for just one year drove my interest in glaciers over the years. Now that I am (involuntarily) retired, I spend much time going on-line to locate sites like this one. Thank you again for contributing your expertise, not only in text, but in photographs, as well. I have, through trial and error, managed to place your site on my computer's home page and have included McMurdo's weather with my local weather on this home page, as well. It is too late in my life for a return trip to Alaska (with Alaska being my favorite location of all travel done as a military wife), so I shall just continue to soak up the words and visions of your site (in addition to all the books on the subject that I am able to retrieve from my community library). My sincere thanks to you for the effort you have put forth on your site which enables others to share your experience.
