Glaciers in Portage

I wish these pictures showed the beautiful blue color of the glacial ice better, but it was a cloudy day.












This chunk of glacial ice in the lake shows the blue a little better.This is the visitor center for Portage Glacier. It is on the banks of the large lake that is fed by the glaciers. There is a tie to Louisiana.


The Disappearance of Majority Leader Representative Hale Boggs of Louisiana and Representative Nicholas Begich of Alaska October 16, 1972
On this date, a small charted plane carrying Majority Leader Hale Boggs of Louisiana, Alaska Representative Nicholas Begich, and a Begich aide disappeared between Anchorage and Juneau, Alaska, during a campaign trip.

The center is named for the two Representatives.
