Why we offer the over night night trip only
We recommend the overnight trip because the one day fly cruise itenerary starts you out at 5 a.m., flying into Gustavus by 6 a.m in order to board the boat for the cruise at 7 a.m. The problem is the weather in Southeast Alaska is not always good enough to fly that early in the day, potentially interferring with your planned acivities.
We fly you down in the late afternoon when the weather tends to be at it's best. So you're in Gustavus, and you wake up refreshed for your early morning cruise.

Speed & Movement: Healthy glaciers move a few inches to about 3 feet per day. Certain glaciers surge periodically at 10-100 times their normal rate, while stagnant glaciers do not move at all. The change in position of the glaciers terminus is not the same as its speed, because melting and calving there work against the glacier's travel. A retreating glacier can be still moving down hill.
