Return to the Ice Age: Alsek River

Wednesday, September 25 • 6:30-7:45pm<p>

Mandela, lead-storyteller for Xplorer Maps and host of The Trail Less Traveled, will take you on a journey through the middle of the world's largest non-polar ice cap. As an expedition guide on the Alsek River, Mandela navigates 160-miles of the Alsek River from its source in the Yukon Territory to the Gulf of Alaska. This 12-day glacial river expedition involves ice bergs, a mandatory helicopter portage of "Turnback Canyon" and the largest density of grizzly bears in North America. Learn why the Alsek is the world's wildest and most protected river. Children of all ages are encouraged to attend.
