ICEFIELDS INC.
An Adventurous Life
Kluane, Yukon
The Logan Massif. The biggest chunk of rock, ice and snow in the world. Protected by a sea of glaciers and some fantastically unpredictable weather. Mostly I have enjoyed this mountain by wasting endless hours at the Icefield Discovery camp, sitting in a deck chair, sipping gin and tonics, and gazing at the many facets of the north face. Finally I decided to go for the summit.
The Icefield Discovery Camp is situated in the heart of the St. Elias Mountains, between the Kaskawulsh, Logan and Hubbard Glaciers. Mt. Logan is the dominant massif to the south; Augusta, Steele and Lucania complete the panorama and Mt. Queen Mary is immediately accessible from the camp. The location of the camp was chosen for its crevasse free zone, relative ease of aircraft access, variety of surrounding terrain, and great view of the north face of Mt. Logan.
Andy Williams has been providing air charter services in the St. Elias Mountains since 1975. The aircraft is a turbo charged Helio Courier on wheel-skis. The plane can fly up to four passengers or two climbers with expedition gear.
