I have lived in Hope for 47 years. Thank you for the wonderful photography and taking me on hikes that I am too old for now. I came for a weekend visit and have never left. The beauty of the Arm makes life worth living.
Thank you so much for these kind words, and for coming along with us on these adventures. We absolutely understand about being captured by the beauty of the Arm. It’s an amazing place.
I just found your video, and love it! I have lived along Turnagain Arm for over 10 years, and I agree that it is one of the most amazing places on earth. I have published many videos from the area that show many of the areas you mentioned, but it is so nice to have a story like yours to add depth, and background to the dramatic beauty of this area.
The Turnagain Arm is breathtaking! Your video and photo work is unsurpassed and the music is so wonderful as well! Alaska has a hold on me and I will return again next Spring to visit with the amazing woodcarvers of Ketchikan once again...to learn and to carve. Thanks you so much for your wonderful videos...they simply bless me!
Hey Bob! Oh, we are so happy you enjoyed this most recent sojourn into Alaska! Maybe next year as we leave Alaska we will have the opportunity to visit Ketchikan. The whole region south of Skagway is still unexplored by us! We hope hope hope it can work out that we can make it over there - it sounds amazing!
Cora, the way you put me in the places you show is very impressive! I feel like i'm traveling with you. You're an amazing story teller!!! Besides, there's a lot to learn from each video. Geology with Cora is a wonderful idea - love it!
Phenomenal. Stunning. Mesmerizing. Gotta pull out all the superlatives for a place that astoundingly gorgeous. Beautifully filmed, narrated engagingly and accompanied by perfect music throughout. Thank you for one of the most pleasant and interesting half hours I have spent in awhile. New sub! 😍
what beautiful footage! I lived there many years but never seen the Turnagain like this. Thanks for all your wonderful knowledge and videos. It is sad how much the glacier receded. In the 80's you could literally see the glacier and touch the ice flow from the shore of the lake!
Yes, it's staggering to think of how quickly Portage Glacier has receded. Just this winter, we walked out onto the ice all the way to the glacier. We had never seen it before, as it is now so far back you have to round the mountain to see it. 😥
Hi Cora and Jose. My wife and I have been loving your videos since we stumbled upon them while researching our next adventure to Banff and Jasper (yours are our favourite videos we have seen so far btw). So much so that the next program we watch as a couple won't be on Netflix or normal TV but 'Halibut' that you just released the other day. For the RU-vid algorithm you may have this comment and my first ever RU-vid 'like'. (We are already subscribed). Keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! It means the world to us that our videos have become some of your favorites and that you also found them useful for planning your trip! We're so grateful for your subscription, comment, and like. Welcome aboard!!!
Drove down to Seward yesterday from Anchorage. We seen your skoolie parked at one of the pull outs on the Seward highway. We thought it was neat seeing your Skoolie after seeing it so many times on RU-vid.
Epic video. Perspective is funny. We saw the Turnagain ice tide and we're creeped out. We went as far as Girdwood and went back. It felt so creepy. It was very cloudy outside so it felt like living in a black and white movie.
Isn't that interesting?! For us, the first time we saw it, we didn't even realize it was moving until we stopped the car. We were traveling in the same direction, and so it just looked like the arm was covered in stable ice. Then we pulled over and all of a sudden we could see the motion of it, and it was SO TRIPPY!!!
This episode is very informative and wonderful. I don't know why it doesn't have 100k views at least. Beautiful... great job. I'm subscribing right now.
Just found your channel while looking up Banff National Park and I’m looking forward to binge watching a lot more of your videos this weekend. What tripod is Jose using for his camera?
Art We There Yet--for the record, and for the benefit of those not familiar with AK's geography, the Chukchi and Beaufort seas are both part of the Arctic Ocean--USA's 3rd. ocean.
Just FYI unless you really seriously know what you’re doing, DO NOT GO WALKING OUT ON THE MUD FLATS. I live in Anchorage and I swear just about every year I hear about somebody who goes out there, gets stuck in suck mud (which is basically quicksand), then dies when high tide comes. Every time I hear about it my first thought is, “what were they thinking going out there?”. I learned at a very early age to respect & fear suck mud so it seems crazy to me that people go out there without knowing better. AK is an incredibly beautiful state, I highly recommend going on hikes ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE MUD FLATS.
Hey youngin’s, Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida. What in this world would stop the melting?? In just a day1/2…. A massive volcanic eruption, a Little Bit Bigger than Honga Tonga. I also lived through the 1964 earthquake largest ever in N. America if you would like the 5 min and 15 seconds of it and what transpired after just ask…. :)
..the automatic 'closed captions' have issues, with local proper nouns and place names; so that should be corrected before anyone who either needs to read them (correctly) or chooses to turn volume down, if their partner may be sleeping, etc; or maybe they are deaf and have few choices to begin with.. .."the tournament arm bore tide" @ 2:39 is one example, of captions gone wrong.. Otherwise the video content is generally OK; but the scenery is only so-so, because I've commuted most seasons in this area, have taken still frame images of high quality.. developed own films, (now use a bit of digital) and lived in small towns on the far end of Seward Highway near mile zero; giving me an advantage tourists just aren't going to get, a few days per decade.. Thanks for a nice perspective. Best regards and safe travels! ~ small town AK-USA 🇺🇸❄🌿☃🐟🐻🍄🌦
Yes, RU-vid's automatic captions have a lot of errors. Unfortunately, manually creating/editing captions takes about 4 hours per video, which is time we just can't put in.
Well for folks who know….but we have found that a lot of visitors want to head straight to Denali thinking that is where it’s at..not realizing how flipping bonkers cool Turnagain Arm is!
This would be a 10 min video about Turnagain Arm without the history lesson, just overwrought.. btw every YT channel does AK glaciers, just saying. Safe Travels.
Too bad you don’t like history or geology and sorry you have to see another Alaskan glacier, they just have too many glaciers here, it’s very hard not to include one in our videos! 😂🤣
True work of Art!! I was exploring for details on bamff & jasper when I tumbled upon your channel & couldn’t stop myself from watching back to back. Right from the name to the content, from editing, narration to music everything is so artful (rare on RU-vid). It’s a proper professional work of travel production. Being an Indian and exploring Himalayas from last few years I took Alaska as a touch & go destination, but the way you have shown now its definitely in my bucket list for longer exploration.
