Description
In essays that traverse latitudes and continents, John Messick’s debut Compass Lines explores the places that shape our journeys toward belonging. From Antarctica to the Arctic, a tattoo parlor in Cambodia to an abandoned Alaska mine and beyond, this deeply felt and researched book teaches us how learning the rhythms of places we inhabit requires both movement and stillness.

Matanuska Glacier Ice Fall Trek from Anchorage
Enjoy a first-hand view of Beautiful Matanuska Glacier! *About the Glacier and the Hike: Glaciers are responsible for shaping and forming this great land, and Alaska has more than one thousand of these frozen rivers. Since the Matanuska Glacier is so accessible, we help visitors explore this wonderful environment on many different levels. Our guides are chosen for their experience and their desire to work and play in bold environments. A zest for life and a caring attitude makes all of us proud to share this unique Alaska experience. Glacier hiking is for virtually everyone! With the proper equipment and an experienced guide, explore the hidden treasures of the Matanuska Glacier. The Matanuska Glacier is one of the few Alaskan glaciers accessible by car. It is located 2 hours NE of Anchorage. With just a short hike, you can be standing on an enormous river of ice, exploring the natural wonders of the majestic glacier. Glacier hiking is an all-weather activity. However, when the weather is bad in and around Anchorage, it is often sunny on the glacier. This is due to a phenomenon in which the cold air of the glacier forces the warm valley air upward and into the surrounding peaks causing a weather hole. So come to the sunny Matanuska Glacier for an unforgettable experience. *Trip Highlights: - A truly Alaskan Adventure on the Matanuska Glacier. - Discover the amazing Blue Ice, Crevasses, and other unique formations. - Stand on a high-point with amazing views of the great Ice Fall. - Stand on 1,000-year-old Ice. - This is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
