Canada's tallest peak: Mount Logan, elevation 5956 metres, in the St Elias mountain range, Yukon Territory
Looking left, past the T-bird's tip tank
Somewhere between Fort Nelson and Whitehorse
The historic McKenzie River
Admiring the scenery
Disappointement Glacier. There must be a good story behind the name! Mount Hubbard (elevation 4581 metres) is in the background, on the Alaska border
The peaks in this part of Kluane National Park were around 3000 metres. They later seemed surprisingly small, after flying around the largest peaks in the St Elias mountains
Kaskawulsh Glacier. In this view from about 5500 metres, the South Arm enters from the lower left, joing the main flow of the glacier
The summit of Mount Logan is on the right. Thirty kilomtres beyond, on the far left, is Mount St Elias in Alaska (elevation 5489 metres)
The north face. It's not for first-time climbers, they say
This mountain is massive! It spans over 15 kilometres at its base
King Peak, elevation 5173 metres, just to the west of Mount Logan. Alaska is in the background, to the west
We took turns flying and shooting. Here, we're high above Kluane National Park, Yukon Territory
Kaskawulsh Glacier. Aviation buffs, note the yaw string on the nose of the aircraft - a throwback to the early days of jet flight
Looking forward from the front cockpit. The Glacier is about 5 kilometres wide at this point, and over 50 kilometres long
500 metres over the glacier
Not necessarily the ideal place to eject
Banking over the Dusty River, enroute to the glacier that feeds it
Broad, deep crevasses span the Lowell Glacier, as seen here from about 500 metres above the surface
Large, deep pools near the toe of the glacier
These icebergs were in a lake along the Alsek River, at the toe of the Lowell Glacier
And we lived to tell the tale!
'57 T-bird. It's kind of hard to start and the cockpit has no cupholders, but other than that the plane handles badly and the gas mileage sucks. I love it!
