Description

This is an eye catching, multiple layered "sandwich" selenite specimen collected from the Lubin Mine in Poland. The selenite displays a coloration that ranges between red, orange and colorless, dependent on conditions and composition of minerals present during formation. 

Selenite is a variety of gypsum, a soft sulfate mineral that is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 · H2O). When chemically pure, gypsum is transparent and colorless, however, impurities give the gypsum a diverse range of colors and formations. Desert rose, selenite and satin spar are just a few of the varieties of gypsum known to have formed though hydrothermal processes.

Potential of seeing Calving Glaciers, Breeching Whales, Mountain Goats, Black Bears, All sorts of Sea Life, and unforgettable oceanic views from Resurrection bay. 60 minutes of flight time can take you to some of the most incredible places outside Seward, including the Harding Icefield which covers over 300 square miles alone and up to 1,100 square miles if you count the surface area of all 40 of the glaciers that it spawns. You could fly over Aialik Glacier and Aialik Bay in some of the most beautiful areas that Alaska and the world have to offer! This is a 1-hour flight with the route being determined the day of your trip based on discussion and weather conditions.

You will then fly over Cooper Lake and the Upper Russian River where we often see bears fishing for Salmon from mid-June through late August. This is a great spot to let the aircraft hover from above as you watch the bears fish. Follow the river through a beautiful valley and look for the Skilak glacier before flying up and over parts of the beautiful 700 square-mile Harding Icefield. Emerge from the Icefield near Aialik Glacier, which boasts an impressive 500ft ice face that descends directly into the ocean. Explore the ice face and watch for pieces of the glacier to calve off.

From your window seat you can follow your route with a detailed map. All the while you’ll hear commentary in your headset describing where you are and what you’re seeing. What it’s really like to see the Misty Fjords by air. Here’s how your Misty Fjords floatplane tour will look and feel. Imagine yourself in a flawlessly maintained DeHavilland Beaver or Otter. A highly trained, experienced bush pilot is at the controls. You are on top of the world, with the Misty Fjords National Monument sparkling below.
