Visit the Drake Icefall

Depart Three Glaciers for an overland journey towards Union Glacier aboard one of the Tucker Sno-Cats or snowmobiles. After a scenic lunch-stop, your traverse will continue on to the Drake Icefall. Named in the 1960s after geologist Benjamin Drake IV, this impressive icefall tumbles off the polar plateau into Union Glacier. Winds from the South Pole carve huge waves into the blue-ice and polish the surface into a high shine. The ridges of this frozen sea of ice tower high above your head and deliver brilliant photos of the polar landscape.
