Glaciers are found at very high altitudes in some countries. Although they melt a little more yearly, the visits are still ongoing. For more safety in these fragile places, tour guides are advised. Alaska is the number 1 stop to explore the 40 km long and 6.4 km wide Matanuska Glacier. At 2 hours from Anchorage, it is only accessible with a guide. Tours are available all year round and last about 2 hours. Not far away, you can also access the Matanuska Glacier State Recreation Site. In Argentina, take a detour to one of the ice caps, Perito Moreno Glacier, the most studied by experts because of its evolution in contrast to the majority of retreating glaciers. With a length of 30 km and a surface of 250 km², it is possible to observe it from a boat that offers excursions in the lake that surrounds it. To get there, go to El Calafate, about 1 hour from Perito Moreno. The territory of Greenland can only be the next destination where the Russell Glacier, with a depth of 60 meters, is located. To get there, you have to reach the city of Kangerlussuaq. The locals advise going there between October and April to make the most of the northern lights. In Norway, various glaciers are open to visitors on the Svalbard archipelago, near the North Pole, and the city of Longyearbyen. They can explore the ice caves and see polar bears under the Northern Lights. ◄
