EXCURSION TO THE ICECAP

Russel Glacier

All excursions is by car with room for 4 persons, and there have to be minimum 2 persons for us to do the tour.

There is no fixed departure times, so its what we agree on at booking. We dont have any fixed stops either, so we can stop when we see animals or nice sites to photograph etc.

No matter the time of year remember warm and windproff clothes, since it can be cold in there.

Vi cant do theres tours all year, due to other activities. Here in 2024 vi can do the tours in april-may-june and in november and december.
