i looked for the tour, but that company seems to not be in business anymore.
i grabbed a couple other photos taken after the one i pposted originally, if this helps..
we passed by part of that glacier, then swung to the left to fly up over it, into the 'valley' and glacier beyond...
i think this first photo is taken after we made our 'left' then the next is over the glacier. not many good landmarks.
