just had to fill out a
bit of paper with my name
saying how much i weighed
obviously they need to know the weight of the helicopter
i had to add on find pounds
for camera and video camera and what not
so now i'm waiting to watch an instructional safety DVD
so they give you glacier boots
to put over your regular shoes
so you can ... walk on the glacier
what type of helicopters are they?
they are A-Star Europcopters
tell me a little bit about them
they're .. 350's and they seat six people
and they're made in France
and they last time you had a major accident invovling in death with one of them was when?
i don't know if we ever have!
*chuckles*
the ground is like ... it's blue
it's icy blue
it's like, i don't know why it's blue
look at it! it's amazing
it's a little bit slippery under your feet as well so you've got to be careful
it's not that cold, it's kind of
it's a bit chilly
i think that's the bathroom!
i'm gonna go and pee * laughs *
what's the question you get asked most as a tour guide?
the question i get asked most as a tour guide ... ?
why is the glacier so dirty
Ok, why is the glacier so dirty?
The Glacier ... is so dirty
well guys! why is the glacier so dirty?
our nice tour guide has just explained to us
that here we have fresh glacier water
which is point two of a degree above freezing
and you should bend down to drink some
i'm just ... doing what i was told
* Slurp *
It's cold!
on the glacier we have four types of morain
we've got the medial morain
that's what i explained about over there
we have the lateral morain
those are on the edges
the terminal morain
that's the very edge of the glacier that falls of
and then in Juneau we have ... more rain
thank you, thank you ...
it's always nice when people are laughing louder than you are
and when's the joke coming sorry?
that was the joke!
* Laughs *
have i got hat hair, how's my hat hair?
a little bit ... you're good
yeah you got hat hair, it's great though
pretty good, it's very blue
compressed ice turns blue apparantly
it was that windy though, it can be a lot more
on days, we got it on a non-windy day
so, that was worth waiting for
and it was awesome and went in a helicopter and didn't die
so, tick! on one of life's little things to do before i die
