We started in Anchorage, then went south to Whittier, a small coastal town out of which we took a charter to see tidewater glaciers. For this trip in 2014 we went further south to Seward since (1) Seward is a more interesting town than Whittier and (2) there were no charters out of Whittier during the time we were going to be there.<\/p>\n<p>After Whittier we went north towards Glen Allen to spend 3 days at Matanuska glacier. We will be doing this in 2014 as well!<\/p>\n<p>Our last visit in 2012 was to Fairbanks in central Alaska. We spend two full days having a mini-summer school at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. We visited several research sites as well.<\/p>\n<p>After Fairbanks we traveled south by the Parks highway back to Anachorage to catch our flight home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/files\/2014\/05\/ak_small.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/files\/2014\/05\/ak_small.png\" alt=\"ak_small\" width=\"863\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/ak_small.png 863w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/ak_small-300x263.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/ak_small-341x300.png 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: Alaska travel route.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/files\/2014\/05\/matanuska.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-145\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/files\/2014\/05\/matanuska-1024x670.png\" alt=\"matanuska\" width=\"584\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/matanuska-1024x670.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/matanuska-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/matanuska-457x300.png 457w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/mathclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2014\/05\/matanuska.png 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: Two solid days of treking across the Matanuska glacier.
