Alaska Icefield Expeditions

Adventures on the Glacier Slideshow: Alaska Icefield Expeditions, Inc's trip from New York City to Juneau was created by TripAdvisor. See another Juneau slideshow. Take your travel photos and make a slideshow for free. Alaska Icefield Expeditions was founded by Dan and Chris Turner, who run the oldest operating sled dog tour company in Southeast Al... aska. We have been mushers for many years, driving dogs recreationally on camping trips, participating in two Yukon Quest sled dogs races and offering winter and summer tours to visitors to Alaska. During the summer of 1995 we were on special assignment doing a two week trek across the Juneau Icefield with famed Japanese adventurer, Joshi Wada. The vast remote reaches of the icefield were incredible and the trip was a great success for the dog teams. The idea of summer glacier dogsledding was born. We are excited for the opportunity to share our dogteam and this magnificent country with you. Over the years our glacier team has grown and is available in Juneau on the famous Mendenhall Glacier and in Skagway at the Denver Glacier dog camp. There are 25-30 people and 300 Alaskan husky sled dogs in each camp. It is a way of life for our mushers and sled dogs to live in "dog camp" during the summer-keeping in shape, raising puppies, preparing for winter racing and camping trips. Having guests to share this great adventure with is a bonus.Read More
