点评:We did the Spencer Glacier float. The train ride down to Spencer was nice despite rainy weather (can’t control that) other than a very rude group that took over the viewing car and stayed there almost the entire trip and didn’t allow others a chance to view from the elevated area. Train staff couldn’t care less. Once that group departed at Whittier others were able to use the viewing area. The float staff suited us with boots while on the train (fair warning I am a wide calf the boots were not but I was still able to wear them enough to keep my feet dry).
The float itself was great. Everyone got bussed from the train stop and suited up efficiently with PFD though they ran out of ponchos for everyone. Fortunately the rain had cleared and the ponchos were a nicety but not necessity. Our float boat guide was Jack and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the river and made us feel comfortable. The view of the ice flows were beautiful and during the float we tried to spot wildlife. The “snack” on the river of tea and cocoa was great to warm us up. The exit from the river and boarding back on the train went smooth. I would recommend this tour to other visitors.
翻译:我们参加了斯宾塞冰川漂流。尽管下着雨(无法控制),但乘坐火车前往斯宾塞的旅程还是很愉快的,除了一群非常粗鲁的人占据了观景车,几乎整个旅程都呆在那里,不让其他人有机会从高处观赏。火车工作人员一点也不在乎。一旦那群人从惠蒂尔出发,其他人就可以使用观景区了。在火车上,漂流工作人员为我们穿上了靴子(警告一下,我的小腿很粗,所以没有靴子,但我还是能穿上,足以保持双脚干燥)。
漂流本身很棒。每个人都从火车站乘坐巴士,并迅速穿上 PFD,尽管他们没有给每个人的雨披。幸运的是,雨已经停了,雨披是可有可无的,但不是必需品。我们的漂流船导游是杰克,他非常友好,对河流了如指掌,让我们感到很舒服。冰流的景色很美,在漂流期间,我们试图发现野生动物。河边的茶和可可“小吃”让我们暖和起来。离开河边并再次登上火车的过程非常顺利。我会向其他游客推荐这次旅行。
