    🥳Matanuska is a MUST SEE in Alaska. What is a MUST SEE in your state/country?

      Well in my home country and region of Friuli Venezia Giulia there is much to be visited but I would say I love the islands of Murano/Burano and Torcello. Each is very different one with colorful buildings and Torcello for the school of lace which dates back hundreds of years. In Friuli you could visit Aquileia where there are crazy mosaics and Roman history or visit San Daniele where they make the famous prosciutto di san daniele similar to prosciutto di parma. Also castello di miramare in Triest the city closest to the border. Ciao buon viaggio.

    Matanuska glacier and the surrounding area are wonderful! You continue to do a fantastic job! From a prior gut wrenching, potentially fatal, encounter with a glacier (don't canoe on a very windy day, regardless of what others may say) I have very healthy fear and respect for glaciers. I don't know that I'd be as quick for walking on them again. Thank you much for sharing your adventure!

    Hi, did you do the full or half-day tour? Also, which company did you use for guides? We won't need the shuttle service. Thanks!

    • @ArtWeThereYet
      @ArtWeThereYet  6 місяців тому +1

      Hey there! If you don't need the shuttle service, then you can book directly with the company that organizes the tour that we did: glacier-tours.com/matanuska-glacier-summer-tours/. It's actually cheaper that way!
      The glacier tour itself isn't half day/full day, it's just a set time (1.5-2hrs). It's just that other tour companies (like the shuttle service) fold the glacier tour in with other activities (like a restaurant meal along the way, stops at viewpoints, etc). The companies that fold the glacier tour in with a lot of other activities call it a full day, and some that just get you there/maybe a snack or quick stop along the way call it a half day. But it's just one company that runs the hiking tours to the toe of the glacier, and yep, that tour runs 1.5-2hrs. And it's cheaper to book direct with them :)
      Have so much fun out there!

    Hi, Art we there yet, I am loving all your videos but had a tiny question, are you guys still making the trip to Argentina or are you going to stay in Alaska? I know there is a lot of political unrest countries right now so wasn't sure if that is why you haven't made it to Argentina yet. I do understand why you would want to stay in Alaska or our own country at this time. Thank you

      Hey Christine! So happy that you are enjoying the videos! Yep, we are still doing the trek to Argentina. We decided to stay in AK for two winters because we loved it so much. Our episodes are still going through Alaska (because of Tempe time lag between filming and episode release), but we are actually about to cross the border.
