travellerschoice “This is the most beautiful mountain I ever climbed, because it is very out-of-the-way. The mountain is on the Nabesna Glasier in Alaska. We had to fly from the outback of Alaska. The expedition lasted a total of three weeks. We were with four, a friend of mine and two Austri-ans.

We had an expedition with a lot of equipment. Consisting of a tent, food for three weeks , little burners and full climbing gear including snow-shoes. The picture is says more than text. In the upper left of the photo you see the igloo from the base camp with the arrival track right and left rail to the far ridge.”

4 BRIKSDAL

BREENGLACIER

Norwegian glaciers are a true mystery. For centuries this ice creeps its way up, and now this natural phe-nomenon is threatened by climate change it is cer-tainly worth to visit the Norwegian glaciers before they disappear completely. It is also possible to hike the glaciers by a guide and even in summer these majes-tic beauty’s are accesible.

How to get there?From many European airports, are flights departing to the Norwegian glaciers. Cities like Oslo and Bergen are near these glaciers. Because many areas are inaccessible in Norway, there are many small airfields. Tourists can also take advantage of these flights.

5MOUNTMCKINLEYMount McKinley is the highest mountain in Northern America. The highest peak is 6,198 metres, and climbing the mountain is very tricky. the first time the mountain had been conquered was in 1913, when Hudson Stuck tempered the mountain.

How to get there?Mount McKinley is a remote mountain and is certainly not the easiest to reach. You do fly at not so very advantageous prices from local airports. One of the destinations close to the mountain is Anchorage, but from here it is even days before you get to the the mountain.
