Description

During a scenic flight through Denali National Park, our small plane touched down on Ruth Glacier, offering a perspective few visitors get to experience. The bright red of the aircraft stood out vividly against the expansive field of white and blue, emphasizing both the scale and isolation of the glacier. A fresh layer of powdery snow blanketed the ice, softening the rugged landscape while the morning sun broke over the surrounding ridges, casting light across the scene. This moment captured both the immense beauty and the remarkable accessibility of Denali’s wilderness, where visitors can stand directly on the glaciers that define the park’s landscape.
