3 Portage Glacier view from afar

[akdrone]

The 360 failed, I assume due to wind but much of the view toward the Portage Glacier still "works". Years ago it came miles closer but now it's not even visible from the visitor center. This is close but not right at the visitor center. The visitor center is south of Anchorage and just a bit south of Girdwood.

I was there in '95 but can't say that my memory is sharp on it. I'd have to refer to my photo album of the trip and my notebook, if I could find it. When I was there, we were told that the glacier used to end near the main road, I'm thinking they were saying around 1964. Your work is making me want to go through that album now.
