What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is crucial. Wear moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and waterproof outer layers. Sturdy, waterproof boots are essential for glacier landings. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against wind and sun glare.
