Unearthly Images of the World’s Largest Non-Polar Icefield
This post is part of Matador’s partnership with Canada, where journalists show how to explore Canada like a local.
DESPITE THEIR APPARENT monolithic stillness, glaciers are in constant motion, and they can move mountains. Kluane National Park and Reserve, in Canada’s Yukon Territory, is one of the best places in the world to witness the effects of glaciation, and the best way to see Kluane is from the air. There are no roads leading into the 21,980 square kilometer (approximately 8,500 square miles) park, but local company Sifton Air offers “flightseeing” tours with departures from the Haines Junction Airport.
