Upon arrival at the unique, octagon-shaped Alaskan log cabin, check-in at the office and listen to an up-to-the-minute weather briefing to prepare you for your trip.
Take the opportunity to meet and chat with your knowledgeable guide for the journey, and if youve picked the optional glacier landing, get kitted out with all the necessary gear and glacier boots.
