Anchorage: not the capital of Alaska, that’s Juneau (the only state capital you can’t travel to by car!) but the biggest city of the state. 40% of Alaskans live here. You’re still in the wild quickly with the Chugach mountains on its doorstep.
First glacier I saw from the plane – I later learned this is Harvard Glacier and College Fjord from my couchsurfing friend Andrew, whom we will be staying with in a few days in Homer – he seems to know all glaciers and fjords 😳
