I am a 70 year old man who has ridden motorcycles for 50 years, you are a true adventure rider and I appreciate you Showing all you see, my days as a motorcycle rider are slowly getting less so I appreciate all you do thank you.❤
63 not sure how many years I have left body parts hurt that should not. I hope I can go till 70. At this age I need to quit thinking I'm 20 when I see a hill to climb.
I'm 75 and still riding motorcycles. My previous bike was a 1978 XS650 that I rode for 14 years, and enjoyed it a lot. Just this year I bought a Burgman 400 and hope to keep riding into my 80's.
I am 71 years of age and just replaced my K1200LT after 23 years and 160,000 km's (100.000 mls) with a K1600GTL. Boys (and girls) let me tell, this is a lot of fun.
You've said it all for me Nige, I'm the same , I still enjoy it , but the body won't take the hammering the off road tracks dish out. You have to hand it to her, She's packed what would have been a life time of riding experiences, into a few short years. When you can hardly afford to fill up the tank in our older years, Watching Norely is the next best thing. I reckon I can jovially predict (possibly lol) her next venture ! A double venture through OZ & NZ. Go for it you Dutch beauty. & Yeah, what nige says... Thankyou.
500th Episode. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never watched 500 episodes of anything before! So happy for sharing from all over the world people's stories, landscapes, cultures, languages, personalities, causes, film making, adventure motorbiking, and your adventure along the way whether in pleasure or peril
The views of that glacier were amazing. I know hundreds of thousands of people watch Itchy Boots, but it still feels like a personal guided tour. Thanks much.
Yes, quite. And therein lies the trick: to talk direct to camera with no script in that familiar way of Noraly's. Obviously she does her homework before each section to freshen the facts.
Its pretty exciting when she stops for the glacier and you think, "Pull out the drone,the drone,the drone",.....and she pulls out the drone ! That's award winning stuff right there; that thing is cool ! Great episode.
Well you sure know how to pick em! Best videography of glacial action I have ever seen. Your geological knowledge shines through in your videos. Particularly like your interaction with the miner and dropping a few trade terms in there. I am sure he was taken aback. Thanks for sharing your passion and explaining along the way.
What else could I say than what anyone who watches Noraly's adventures can say. Almost every time an episode posted by Noraly ends, I remain and look at the icons that end each episode, but without really seeing them and only one word comes to mind: Thank you! Yes, thank you Noraly because thanks to you people like me who never had the opportunity to follow their dreams, you took us out of our gray daily life and you showed us how wonderful the world is, and the fact that there are still good people in the world. Thank you Noraly!
Is it just me that thinks Noraly's videos keep getting better and better? I can't believe how all this beauty is captured on film along with the excellent knowledge of the land, and the people is edited in just a couple days, and given to us by just one person! I started with her in Central America, and haven't missed one yet, and don't plan on it! If this one isn't an award winner, then nothing is!!
Noraly has become more famous than Will Smith. She is now a celebrity. A global one, tanscending all cultures, languages, religions, landscapes, races.
Leave it to Noraly to be able to ride into a mining camp at random and start talking drilling tech with the miners! Truly a spectacular episode. Those drone shots above the glacier were awesome!
And like I just said above before seeing your comment, If she'd made just ONE hint to him that she has a Masters in Geochemistry, he'd've radioed the Mine Manager who would've offered her a job then and there on the spot! 🤣. Mercifully for us all, she kept schtum!😃
I remember years ago I started watching a brave woman exploring the world on her motorcycle, alone. I began watching out of fascination…I realized today I now follow you in order to LEARN. I THANK YOU SO MUCH, NORALY!
My uncle immigrated from Finland to Canada in 1957, at age of 20. Summer 1971 he worked in Granduc mine. He has worked all his life as a logger, miner and trapper. He's now 85 and lives alone 30 miles outside Whithorse. A real sourdough! Thanks a lot for the great video from Granduc.
The next time I'm in Whitehorse I'll try to look up your uncle. I grew up in Northern Ontario where there are many generations of Finns, and I learned the stories of the Kalevala at the same time as our stories of Nanabush and Glooskap. He sounds like a man worth meeting and talking to.
I rarely comment but this is has to be some of the most spectacular footage you've captured. The drone footage of you riding with the glacier looks like you had a team filming. Just amazing 👏
Man, as a passionate moto rider myself, I really love and respect what you are doing. I keep saying to myself, “ Wow, she is out there DOING IT - not just dreaming about it like most of us do. Good for you Noraly, good for you.
I am continually amazed by what one person can achieve with modern technology - and a lot of work - these days, without a van full of production crew members following behind. What a beautiful, interesting "travel show." Thanks Noraly!
An altered saying- that witch doesn’t kill you makes you stronger - except for bears, they WILL kill you ! If you venture into grizzly territory without protection, you are no longer top of the food chain !?! Be careful!!
Noraly! I ride as well and I worked in Stewart for 5 years.... watching your footage of Stewart and the Salmon Glacier gave me butterflies, goosebumps, and made me teary with longing for the primordial beauty of the place. Nothing like it, and you did it more than justice! You're a special kind of adventure rider indeed. ❤
For 15 years I lived in Prince George BC and never once visited this glacier and now you have given me the best views of it that I will ever have! Thank you Noraly!
Just when we think the scenery could not possibly get any more astonishing, it does. My friends and I all noticed that when Noraly got 'Hyderized' there was a definite change in her voice; It was the happy lilt of someone feeling the effects of 75% booze. Hilariously funny. Yet another brilliant episode.
Desolate. Spectacular. Lonely. Beautiful. Ethereal. Cold. Unique. Mining. Adventure. Noraly. In many ways, today’s ride seemed emblematic of why you are on this journey. Thanks for showing us the slowly vanishing wild corners of our world.
Those bands of clouds around that mountain was unbelievable, like the land that time forgot!... The myriad of Blues in the Glacier was incredible! Thanks you once again for showing us all these amazing sights! 👏👏👏👏
Dear Noraly, at 14:30 minutes into this amazing (as always) 500th episode and gorgeous ride...it seems poignant that there is a heart shaped puddle in the road!! May it serve as a beautiful reminder of the 1.4 million subscribers who LOVE you, and appreciate you as you so eloquently share your epic adventures and all the while instruct us on the history, geography, and geology of the areas you visit. You spread joy, good cheer, and hope as you travel. As a mostly homebound "senior" at age 68, with a husband and son who ride as well...your posts allow me to "travel" and experience the world in ways I will never be able to...Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
First of all , Noraly your personality is just great, your film making is second to none,I am a person who loves motorcycles and suffered from fernweh,the homesick feeling for far off places,I absolutely love this channel it is my absolute favorite channel on UA-cam,it helps me so much to deal with my fernweh more than I could ever explain, Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures with us,as soon as I get a chance I benge watch your adventures
Fernweh and Wanderlust. Will anything ever slake the thirst??? Do Noraly's videos help or hurt? Discuss amongst yourselves... (Ha, ha, ANOTHER Canadian reference!)
prompted by the video i compared 20 y.o. photos of the glacier at the top of the road (which she missed) with photos some had uploaded to Google Earth and definitely saw shrinkage. it is sad.
Curious why it is sobering and sad? The Earth was a ball of ice not very long ago, and we have recurring ice ages. I think it would be more sobering if the ice was increasing and we were facing a new cold period.
To celebrate your 500th episode and first entry into Alaska I am going to re-watch Episode 1 Season 1. Who would have predicted such an epic volume of work would arise from a humble 5 minute vlog by a most enthusiastic woman? Much affection and respect. 🇨🇦
You are the most inspiring traveler in the world Noraly. And the sights that you are expiriencing and showing to us all - are truly breathtaking. Thanks
Althought I'm Canadian, I have never seen anything like you are showing me. That glacier was astounding!! So goregous! Thank you so much for introducing this part of Canada to the world!!
I have no idea how you ended up in my feed but glad you did. I crunch a lot of numbers as a side job and typically can only work 1.5-2.5 hours straight before needing a 30 minute mental break. Well your videos have been on a loop for 6.5 hours straight. As an outdoors person. Combination of commentary and outdoors is thoroughly relaxing. THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT.
That was an awe-inspiring display of nature. Sitting in the comfort of my living room, watching and listening, I could feel the power of what you were witnessing. I confess an ongoing fascination with how adept you are in drawing me along on your ride, from one scene to the next, from one narrative segment to the next, it is as close to being on the ride as possible without actually being there. And I am always impressed by your ability to engage people. A skill I lack though I'm beginning to understand the power of a positive outlook and warm approach! Thank you so much for doing what you do.
I'm weirdly excited that a few days later I had breakfast in the same cafe (the only one open!), even sat on the same seat as you and then filled my bike up at the same petrol pump!!
Noraly amazing taking us allow on her journey of discovery. Today glacier with the drone was truly marvelous. I don't watch TV; however totally addicted to Itchy Boots! Love the way Alaska just keeps purring along makes me think of a contended and happy cat 🐈.
The scenery here has to be the most spectacular I have seen. I wish I could fly like that drone above the glacier. I have watched this video several times. I just can't get over watching it. Wonderful!
Wow. First time in my 50 years of life that I saw a sea of ice this real. Natures many many wonders... Truly amazing and unforgivably dangerous too. So much thanks and appreciation for you Noraly and for the equally amazing things that you do to share with us. Hats off to you (I was giggling when you did a small "Welcome to Alaska" but I will still be looking forward to that big welcome ☺️🥰)
It's really quite worrying how fast these glaciers are disappearing. Thank you Noraly for showing them to us whilst they are still around. Fabulous drone photography.
And the irony is that she's visiting all these disappearing glaciers with the aid of petroleum and an ICE. That said, if only tourists on motorcycles were burning gas in the world, we'd not have any sort of problem, so we can actually accommodate this sort of thing. If only we could apply sensible and responsible energy consumption to free up the gas needed for stuff like this. Jay Leno argues that the electric car will be the SAVIOR of the traditional ICE sports car. All those "purists" out there casting their aspersions at electric cars really do have it backwards. Get everyone commuting in renewable energy electric cars and we'll be able to "afford" burning the little bit of gas for the enthusiasts. Like I could say, I daily commute under my own power, so when I want to work on my heel-toe technique in the 911, I've earned a little carbon credit! I kinda like that approach!
@@dudeonbike800 where should the additional batteries, equipment, vehicles go for disposal when out of service - is cradle to grave disposal more fair to apply to manufacturers or to the consumer? Should an operation promoting electric vehicles be required to use all electric equipment during production from the start? What happens with electric equipment in areas of low light, magnetic anomolies, extra cold, heat or power surges? Things to consider.
Hey Noraly, wow...epic footage of the glacier, stunning! What a great film 🎥 to mark 500 episodes. No pressure...but here's to 500 more!! Cheers, Steve 😊
I don’t know who I’m more proud of, you for completing a monumental journey or me for watching all of your journey. Easily the only channel/UA-camr I regularly watch. Congrats and not so eager for the end 😁
This episode was incredible Words to describe. Awesome, Amazing, breathtaking, a piece of heaven. Excellent. I read in a previous comment that this is Noraly's 500th episode. Congratulations Noraly 🎉.
So proud of your goals itchy!! I can't imagine what a great adventure your having.. never missed an episode! Your the real deal, you take our love for motorcycles and adventure to a new level, your friend johnny
Drone shots of the glacier are absolutely stunning. Thank you for showing the world most of us will never see in person 💕 Glad you did the apple juice after getting Hyderized!👍
Once again we can all live vicariously through your videos. The drone shots give you a sense of being there in person. So... Bravo! Thank you very much. Your courage and energy is amazing and exciting.
I am loving your unique journey through Canada to Alaska. I cycled Argentina to Alaska but did the more direct route (due to late in season), so I am love love loving seeing a different route! Thank you!! I think if I ever did it again I would have to do it by motorbike. So many options and opportunities it gives one. PS. Your drone capture of the electric blue of the glacier is simply stunning.
Noraly this is incredible footage of the glaciers and mountains. You have taken us on a journey of a lifetime with you...Thank you❤!! I have recently discovered your channel and I am following your journey in West Africa as South African and learning so much. Appreciate your resilience and courage in every season!
Oh wow, what a heart thumper site to behold. Salmon Glacier that close has got to be one of your top experiences. I know it was for me, to see it they your lens. There are not enough words to describe this video. You have more than outdone yourself. Having a drone view is just so awesome! Bravo Noraly, what a brave one you are to get Hyderized on 151 !!! Loved the video!
Got Hyderized a few decades ago. Seem to recall that there was a toe in that drink as well. Was not aware of the Salmon Glacier. Even if I did I probably would not have attempted the gravel on my Fatboy. Times have changed if I survive my heart surgery in a couple of weeks I’ll go there next summer on my GSA. Thanks so for showing me what I missed so I can go back and see for myself.
@@thomascragg783 Actually the toe you are thinking of is in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada -The Sourtoe Cocktail. Good luck with your surgery! Hope the healing goes very well.
Wow Noraly, more than a thumbs up, would love to give you an Academy Award for best travel documentary! If it doesn't happen now, it WILL happen later! Amazing cinematography, stunning Salomon Glacier footage, especially with the drone. And being a rider myself, you get extra thumbs up for not launching yourself of the cliff while gazing at the amazing deep blues of the glacier (for those non-riders, you normally ride exactly where you look! But Noraly has mastered gaziing at beautiful scenery to the side and yet still moving forward safely on a road.) BRAVO on every level!
Awesome! As a native Canadian we are seeing parts of Canada we would otherwise never see! You are part of our routine 3 times a week. We love watching you!!!🇨🇦
My question is how do you come down from such a high after being 6 months 7 months on the road. Is it starting to feel a little weird that you're coming to the end of this journey? It is for me I've watched all of them and I'm getting sad that you're coming to the end. There's never been one dull video right from the start. I have a spinal injury for the last 20 years keeps me from doing things like this. But because of you and your videos I try to go out 30 minutes A-day on my motorcycle riding in the desert. You have been inspirational to me thank you so much.
You're not the only one who loved this ride, I did too! The view was breathtaking to say the least. The welcome to Alaska was really cute 😁 And, of course, congratulations on getting Hyderised!
Well Nigel, I am 69 who has ridden motorcycles for 59 years, so I feel you. I am too old to last till my fantasy, which after watching Noraly's experience especially the drone footage, is to travel the world in a personal hovercraft. Just imagine a motorcycle without wheels! Imagine drone like views, no need for roads, you wouldn't disturb the flora & fauna, no need to worry about the bears, fences, river crossings etc. No need to worry about my old body giving out on rough roads. Too bad we are still 20-40 years away from such a vehicle. I really do appreciate what Noraly does for us. Ride safe.
Each time I don’t think you can make a better video you exceed my expectations. Simply incredible video. The drone shots combined with the music actually gave me goosebumps. Top notch work. Stay safe. USA and Canada have been my favorite episodes of Season 6 and Mexico was amazing too.
When we were at the border of Montana and Canada we so close to seeing all that beauty and I wanted so desperately to cross the border, but no time😫Stay safe Noraly🙏🏼I adventure this with you!😇
I appreciate that you factually present that the northern hemisphere's glaciers are melting. And that you can fly your drone over this one. Who would have thought 499 episodes ago that you would be touring Alaska? Or that you would have come so far in miles and so far as a videographer, producers, writer and business owner. Truly great stuff!
This was a top notch video. Loved the drone flying, the drops, the stationery and the up we go again. Amazing everything, the glaciers, the colors, the locals, the asking if you are still allowed to drive after getting hyderized, tha dare to enter the tunnel, the whispered Good morning internet 😀, the small welcome to Alaska, the joyous chuckles and laughter, we enjoyed all of it and more. The whole dashboard of Alaska, the music, the bear sighting , the lessons in different types of mining gold or diamonds and most of all the commentary that makes us feel we are there with you. Thank you for all of this and more not mentioned.
I'm glad you didn't do a big "Welcome to Alaska!" because that would mean this season is much closer to ending...and that makes me a little sad. This has been such a big trip:)
Sad - EXACTLY. These last ones in BC have been poignant with that understanding that "Alaska is next"... and after that... sniffle sniffle. Well, I joined her in Africa and I can travel back in her time to see earlier ones. I wonder if I'll be AS amazed? I suspect so.
I'm so happy that you were able to ride to see the Salmon Glacier. When I rode to Alaska last June, we couldn't see the glacier due to the extreme amount of snow. Thank you so much for allowing me to finally see it. Awesome video!
Congratulations! No matter what happens, you made it to Alaska! What an episode: Entered Alaska, traveled along a massive glacier, visited a gold mine, got to record a bear, and got Hyderized, all in one episode. I still love your videos and your drone work is just great. Been watching your visit to the indigonous settlements, fun but also maybe even more ancient than the people realize. I grew up near the ocean. its where I saw all the tide pool life, which has later been valuable for identifying fossils. There are precambrian jellyfish fossils, so your jellyfish encounters reflect very ancient biology.
Having lived in Alaska for over 30 years, I can tell you that it never ceases to knock your socks off. Like the old saying goes: "After you visit Alaska, you never go all the way home again."
The drone shot of the Glacier is just absolutely stunning! Having studied Geology and Geography here in the US, everything that you've shown and explained brought back a lot of very good memories.
This is so fun, I can see my motorhome in your video, which a subscriber sent me. I have been seeing so many comments this northern season on my channel, from folks recommending your channel. I am excited to watch this episode, and I hope you're enjoying the north. Welcome to my home province! And a sliver of Alaska. lol.
Excellent. As one who rides as well, you touch the Heart of every Biker out there...... We see through your eyes and cameras..... you are greatly respected, Milady.
All i can say is wow wow wow , the glacier was absolutely stunning thanks for the drone footage the whole video had me silent in awe . Thanks Noraly for showing me something that i might not experience in person . Stay safe.
Hey Noraly, my husband and I watch ur videos along with our 8 year old daughter. We thoroughly enjoy 😊 Ur videos are very informative and entertaining. And we always get inspired by ur positivity, energy and vivaciousness. Lots of love and respect from India 😘😘🇮🇳
A big Thumbs Up and Thank You for all the places you show us ! The drone views over the glacier are impressive, and the winding road too. Hyderized Itchy, no mosquitos tonight.
I have been riding for 57 years. Thank you for showing us the World Noraly. I have been following you since the inception of your adventure blog. You are a remarkable woman, and I look forward to every one of your adventures! I wish for you only good things, safety & success!
I am a 70 year old man who has ridden motorcycles for 50 years, you are a true adventure rider and I appreciate you Showing all you see, my days as a motorcycle rider are slowly getting less so I appreciate all you do thank you.❤

I rarely comment but this is has to be some of the most spectacular footage you've captured. The drone footage of you riding with the glacier looks like you had a team filming. Just amazing 👏
I'm completely agree. She becomes a professional movie maker.
Another one here in total agreement. Glacier shots were brilliant.
Magnificent scenery 👏👏👏
Man, as a passionate moto rider myself, I really love and respect what you are doing. I keep saying to myself, “ Wow, she is out there DOING IT - not just dreaming about it like most of us do. Good for you Noraly, good for you.
I've never seen better footage of glaciers anywhere. Your work is a treasure trove for which I am extremely grateful.
Those initial drone shots over the glacier just took my breath away. What a ride!!
I am continually amazed by what one person can achieve with modern technology - and a lot of work - these days, without a van full of production crew members following behind. What a beautiful, interesting "travel show." Thanks Noraly!
Loved the Welcome to Alaska whisper. I laughed outloud. The glacier is amazing. Wish we could have seen it 50 years ago.
Ride safe...bears are fast.
An altered saying- that witch doesn’t kill you makes you stronger - except for bears, they WILL kill you !
If you venture into grizzly territory without protection, you are no longer top of the food chain !?! Be careful!!
I laughed out loud also. Watching from East Texas.
Brian Walker: yes; me too :)
Yes it was a tiny one too. I laughed 😅
😂😂😂Loved the whispered, ‘welcome to Alaskan lower caps lol. And what an astounding landscape. So beautiful.

Road trip next summer!
It's unlikely that I will ever see a glacier with my own eyes. Today, I feel like I have.
Thank you Noraly!
I can only say "WOW!" and put 10 thumbs up! The view from the drone was surreal and magnificent!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I died laughing about that

@@balancematters2776 Thank you, what a nice thing to say.
Those bands of clouds around that mountain was unbelievable, like the land that time forgot!... The myriad of Blues in the Glacier was incredible! Thanks you once again for showing us all these amazing sights! 👏👏👏👏
OMG the blue and turquoise 😍👌
Been admiring a 4-5 km long layer abt. 100 m above the lake this morning from my porch. Beautiful
Taking a day off on a motorcycle trip to go on a motorcycle ride pretty much shows how much fun Noraly is having. 😊
The drone video is superb. This episode is one of my favorites no doubt.
It was great meeting you there! Such a humble and inspiring person!
were you in the video?
Lucky you!
(Too bad I didn't happen to run into her while visiting Utrecht this year. Ha, she was too busy visiting my home continent! Irony.)

First of all , Noraly your personality is just great, your film making is second to none,I am a person who loves motorcycles and suffered from fernweh,the homesick feeling for far off places,I absolutely love this channel it is my absolute favorite channel on UA-cam,it helps me so much to deal with my fernweh more than I could ever explain, Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures with us,as soon as I get a chance I benge watch your adventures
Fernweh and Wanderlust. Will anything ever slake the thirst???
Do Noraly's videos help or hurt?
Discuss amongst yourselves... (Ha, ha, ANOTHER Canadian reference!)
Comparing your footage to historic photos is a sobering exercise. Thank you for sharing the beauty of this vanishing wonder.
prompted by the video i compared 20 y.o. photos of the glacier at the top of the road (which she missed) with photos some had uploaded to Google Earth and definitely saw shrinkage. it is sad.
Curious why it is sobering and sad? The Earth was a ball of ice not very long ago, and we have recurring ice ages. I think it would be more sobering if the ice was increasing and we were facing a new cold period.
To celebrate your 500th episode and first entry into Alaska I am going to re-watch Episode 1 Season 1. Who would have predicted such an epic volume of work would arise from a humble 5 minute vlog by a most enthusiastic woman? Much affection and respect. 🇨🇦
You are the most inspiring traveler in the world Noraly. And the sights that you are expiriencing and showing to us all - are truly breathtaking. Thanks
Althought I'm Canadian, I have never seen anything like you are showing me. That glacier was astounding!! So goregous! Thank you so much for introducing this part of Canada to the world!!
I have no idea how you ended up in my feed but glad you did. I crunch a lot of numbers as a side job and typically can only work 1.5-2.5 hours straight before needing a 30 minute mental break. Well your videos have been on a loop for 6.5 hours straight. As an outdoors person. Combination of commentary and outdoors is thoroughly relaxing. THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT.
Noraly's response to rain, fog & clouds: "I'm here so I am going to give it a go." Sounds like a great philosophy for LIFE. Thanks!
This is defiantly one of my favorite episodes! What a stunning view over the glacier, while riding alone on a remote dirt road.
Greetings from Greece!
You are too funny and that Canadian/Alaska border country is too beautiful, thanks for bringing us along!
That was an awe-inspiring display of nature. Sitting in the comfort of my living room, watching and listening, I could feel the power of what you were witnessing. I confess an ongoing fascination with how adept you are in drawing me along on your ride, from one scene to the next, from one narrative segment to the next, it is as close to being on the ride as possible without actually being there.
And I am always impressed by your ability to engage people. A skill I lack though I'm beginning to understand the power of a positive outlook and warm approach!
Thank you so much for doing what you do.
The blue in the glacier is the color of your eyes! Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us mere mortals. ♥
Your small “Welcome to Alaska” made me laugh on an otherwise bad day. Thanks for that. Take care!
I'm weirdly excited that a few days later I had breakfast in the same cafe (the only one open!), even sat on the same seat as you and then filled my bike up at the same petrol pump!!
Very cool!
As long as that's not the kind of place where you have the same piece of food for breakfast, it's all fine! 😁
Noraly amazing taking us allow on her journey of discovery. Today glacier with the drone was truly marvelous. I don't watch TV; however totally addicted to Itchy Boots! Love the way Alaska just keeps purring along makes me think of a contended and happy cat 🐈.
The scenery here has to be the most spectacular I have seen. I wish I could fly like that drone above the glacier. I have watched this video several times. I just can't get over watching it. Wonderful!
Wow. First time in my 50 years of life that I saw a sea of ice this real.
Natures many many wonders... Truly amazing and unforgivably dangerous too.
So much thanks and appreciation for you Noraly and for the equally amazing things that you do to share with us. Hats off to you
(I was giggling when you did a small "Welcome to Alaska" but I will still be looking forward to that big welcome ☺️🥰)
It's really quite worrying how fast these glaciers are disappearing. Thank you Noraly for showing them to us whilst they are still around. Fabulous drone photography.
And the irony is that she's visiting all these disappearing glaciers with the aid of petroleum and an ICE.
That said, if only tourists on motorcycles were burning gas in the world, we'd not have any sort of problem, so we can actually accommodate this sort of thing. If only we could apply sensible and responsible energy consumption to free up the gas needed for stuff like this.
Jay Leno argues that the electric car will be the SAVIOR of the traditional ICE sports car. All those "purists" out there casting their aspersions at electric cars really do have it backwards. Get everyone commuting in renewable energy electric cars and we'll be able to "afford" burning the little bit of gas for the enthusiasts.
Like I could say, I daily commute under my own power, so when I want to work on my heel-toe technique in the 911, I've earned a little carbon credit!
I kinda like that approach!
@@dudeonbike800 where should the additional batteries, equipment, vehicles go for disposal when out of service - is cradle to grave disposal more fair to apply to manufacturers or to the consumer? Should an operation promoting electric vehicles be required to use all electric equipment during production from the start? What happens with electric equipment in areas of low light, magnetic anomolies, extra cold, heat or power surges? Things to consider.

Hey Noraly, wow...epic footage of the glacier, stunning! What a great film 🎥 to mark 500 episodes. No pressure...but here's to 500 more!! Cheers, Steve 😊
I don’t know who I’m more proud of, you for completing a monumental journey or me for watching all of your journey. Easily the only channel/UA-camr I regularly watch. Congrats and not so eager for the end 😁
She need to turn around and go back to Argentina again.
@@Uriel-Septim. i wonder what is next
She's got a loooong ways to go still. 1,730 miles from Stewart BC to Deadhorse AK. Not the end by far!
This episode was incredible Words to describe. Awesome, Amazing, breathtaking, a piece of heaven. Excellent. I read in a previous comment that this is Noraly's 500th episode. Congratulations Noraly 🎉.
Canada where god goes for vacation...
OMG! The drone footage of the glacier is amazing! Thank you much!
Best drone footage yet! Happy 500th
So proud of your goals itchy!! I can't imagine what a great adventure your having.. never missed an episode! Your the real deal, you take our love for motorcycles and adventure to a new level, your friend johnny
Drone shots of the glacier are absolutely stunning. Thank you for showing the world most of us will never see in person 💕 Glad you did the apple juice after getting Hyderized!👍
That is some expensive wallpaper!
Once again we can all live vicariously through your videos. The drone shots give you a sense of being there in person. So... Bravo! Thank you very much. Your courage and energy is amazing and exciting.
Oh wow! The drone shots over the Salmon Glacier is stunning.
LOVE listening to you speak! Enjoy the ride.
Cute little "Welcome to Alaska!"👶
I am loving your unique journey through Canada to Alaska. I cycled Argentina to Alaska but did the more direct route (due to late in season), so I am love love loving seeing a different route! Thank you!! I think if I ever did it again I would have to do it by motorbike. So many options and opportunities it gives one. PS. Your drone capture of the electric blue of the glacier is simply stunning.
The red on the snow is a type of algal bloom. Congratulations on 500 episodes. Happy Trails!
Noraly this is incredible footage of the glaciers and mountains. You have taken us on a journey of a lifetime with you...Thank you❤!! I have recently discovered your channel and I am following your journey in West Africa as South African and learning so much. Appreciate your resilience and courage in every season!
She's bringing stellar cinematography with those drone shots. 🇳🇱
My wife and I are mesmerized by your ride, your camera work, and the enormity of your journey. Wow! Just WOW!
Oh wow, what a heart thumper site to behold. Salmon Glacier that close has got to be one of your top experiences. I know it was for me, to see it they your lens. There are not enough words to describe this video. You have more than outdone yourself. Having a drone view is just so awesome! Bravo Noraly, what a brave one you are to get Hyderized on 151 !!! Loved the video!
Your a good wordsmith Debbie and I totally agree.
Got Hyderized a few decades ago. Seem to recall that there was a toe in that drink as well. Was not aware of the Salmon Glacier. Even if I did I probably would not have attempted the gravel on my Fatboy. Times have changed if I survive my heart surgery in a couple of weeks I’ll go there next summer on my GSA. Thanks so for showing me what I missed so I can go back and see for myself.
@@thomascragg783 Actually the toe you are thinking of is in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada -The Sourtoe Cocktail. Good luck with your surgery! Hope the healing goes very well.
@@thomascragg783 Good luck with your surgery. You’ve got places to go and things to do!
@@privatename8228 Yes you are correct.
I enjoy watching you visit Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you for spreading love between different cultures around the world. You are always welcome 🇨🇦❤️
Wow Noraly, more than a thumbs up, would love to give you an Academy Award for best travel documentary! If it doesn't happen now, it WILL happen later! Amazing cinematography, stunning Salomon Glacier footage, especially with the drone. And being a rider myself, you get extra thumbs up for not launching yourself of the cliff while gazing at the amazing deep blues of the glacier (for those non-riders, you normally ride exactly where you look! But Noraly has mastered gaziing at beautiful scenery to the side and yet still moving forward safely on a road.) BRAVO on every level!
Alaska is great! 75.5% down in one gulp! You're amazing! All the best! 🏍😊🌴
Awesome! As a native Canadian we are seeing parts of Canada we would otherwise never see! You are part of our routine 3 times a week. We love watching you!!!🇨🇦
My question is how do you come down from such a high after being 6 months 7 months on the road. Is it starting to feel a little weird that you're coming to the end of this journey? It is for me I've watched all of them and I'm getting sad that you're coming to the end. There's never been one dull video right from the start. I have a spinal injury for the last 20 years keeps me from doing things like this. But because of you and your videos I try to go out 30 minutes A-day on my motorcycle riding in the desert. You have been inspirational to me thank you so much.
You're not the only one who loved this ride, I did too! The view was breathtaking to say the least. The welcome to Alaska was really cute 😁 And, of course, congratulations on getting Hyderised!
Well Nigel, I am 69 who has ridden motorcycles for 59 years, so I feel you. I am too old to last till my fantasy, which after watching Noraly's experience especially the drone footage, is to travel the world in a personal hovercraft. Just imagine a motorcycle without wheels! Imagine drone like views, no need for roads, you wouldn't disturb the flora & fauna, no need to worry about the bears, fences, river crossings etc. No need to worry about my old body giving out on rough roads. Too bad we are still 20-40 years away from such a vehicle. I really do appreciate what Noraly does for us. Ride safe.
Been watching a long time. This is absolutely the most mind-blowing landscape and drone footage I’ve seen yet. ❤
Each time I don’t think you can make a better video you exceed my expectations. Simply incredible video. The drone shots combined with the music actually gave me goosebumps.
Top notch work. Stay safe.
USA and Canada have been my favorite episodes of Season 6 and Mexico was amazing too.

When we were at the border of Montana and Canada we so close to seeing all that beauty and I wanted so desperately to cross the border, but no time😫Stay safe Noraly🙏🏼I adventure this with you!😇
I appreciate that you factually present that the northern hemisphere's glaciers are melting. And that you can fly your drone over this one. Who would have thought 499 episodes ago that you would be touring Alaska? Or that you would have come so far in miles and so far as a videographer, producers, writer and business owner. Truly great stuff!
This was a top notch video. Loved the drone flying, the drops, the stationery and the up we go again. Amazing everything, the glaciers, the colors, the locals, the asking if you are still allowed to drive after getting hyderized, tha dare to enter the tunnel, the whispered Good morning internet 😀, the small welcome to Alaska, the joyous chuckles and laughter, we enjoyed all of it and more. The whole dashboard of Alaska, the music, the bear sighting , the lessons in different types of mining gold or diamonds and most of all the commentary that makes us feel we are there with you. Thank you for all of this and more not mentioned.
Nicely highlighted Avaly 👍
This has to be your most breathtaking episode ever with those vistas.
Lady you are so dang funny, such a joy😊
I'm glad you didn't do a big "Welcome to Alaska!" because that would mean this season is much closer to ending...and that makes me a little sad. This has been such a big trip:)
I hope she turns back to Argentina..................I do not want the end in Alaska..................... Lol
Sad - EXACTLY. These last ones in BC have been poignant with that understanding that "Alaska is next"... and after that... sniffle sniffle. Well, I joined her in Africa and I can travel back in her time to see earlier ones. I wonder if I'll be AS amazed? I suspect so.
Amazing Noraly if only I could fly with the drone take is easy don’t just stop after Alaska look forward to more
I'm so happy that you were able to ride to see the Salmon Glacier. When I rode to Alaska last June, we couldn't see the glacier due to the extreme amount of snow. Thank you so much for allowing me to finally see it. Awesome video!
Fantastic Drone Footage as usual Noraly !! Congrats and ride safe 👍
Unbelievable drone footage with Noraly in the screen below
What a woman! Thank you for your hard work to give us these views. Wow!
That's some exceptional drone footage today, thanks Noraly!
Congratulations! No matter what happens, you made it to Alaska! What an episode: Entered Alaska, traveled along a massive glacier, visited a gold mine, got to record a bear, and got Hyderized, all in one episode. I still love your videos and your drone work is just great. Been watching your visit to the indigonous settlements, fun but also maybe even more ancient than the people realize. I grew up near the ocean. its where I saw all the tide pool life, which has later been valuable for identifying fossils. There are precambrian jellyfish fossils, so your jellyfish encounters reflect very ancient biology.
Having lived in Alaska for over 30 years, I can tell you that it never ceases to knock your socks off. Like the old saying goes: "After you visit Alaska, you never go all the way home again."
❤👍The "Welcome to Alaska" was so cute!
The drone shot of the Glacier is just absolutely stunning! Having studied Geology and Geography here in the US, everything that you've shown and explained brought back a lot of very good memories.
More fantastic scenery and history, loving it!! Also loved you getting Hyderized, way to go girl. Thanks Noraly
This is so fun, I can see my motorhome in your video, which a subscriber sent me. I have been seeing so many comments this northern season on my channel, from folks recommending your channel. I am excited to watch this episode, and I hope you're enjoying the north. Welcome to my home province! And a sliver of Alaska. lol.
Excellent. As one who rides as well, you touch the Heart of every Biker out there...... We see through your eyes and cameras..... you are greatly respected, Milady.
All i can say is wow wow wow , the glacier was absolutely stunning thanks for the drone footage the whole video had me silent in awe . Thanks Noraly for showing me something that i might not experience in person . Stay safe.
This is one of your best videos for scenery. Wonderful places!
Amazing video, great effort. Keep riding and inspiring Noraly !!
Hey Noraly, my husband and I watch ur videos along with our 8 year old daughter. We thoroughly enjoy 😊 Ur videos are very informative and entertaining. And we always get inspired by ur positivity, energy and vivaciousness. Lots of love and respect from India 😘😘🇮🇳
A big Thumbs Up and Thank You for all the places you show us ! The drone views over the glacier are impressive, and the winding road too. Hyderized Itchy, no mosquitos tonight.
So very well done! Amazing what one extremely talented person can accomplish! Thank you 🙏
I have been riding for 57 years. Thank you for showing us the World Noraly. I have been following you since the inception of your adventure blog. You are a remarkable woman, and I look forward to every one of your adventures! I wish for you only good things, safety & success!
Thank you for making this breathtaking and spectacular video. Never knew these places existed.❤🤗
