Polar Plunge at a Glacier

Team Georgia
A family that plunges together...
All week I threw in little blurbs and hints about a possible ‘polar plunge’ later in the trip. The suspense, excitement, and anxiousness built up within the group as our final day neared. Finally I told them that today was the day, and it just so happens to coincide with us being in front of a glacier. So as ice floated by us we put on our game faces to challenge ourselves with the coldest of polar plunges.

  Dawes glacier has been active this year. We saw it calve several times during the morning kayak so we could understand why there was so much ice floating around the boat. The ice, coupled with the imposing Dawes glacier in the background, made for a pretty incredible scene for the polar plunge.  About ¾ of the 21 guests onboard the Safari Quest this week strolled out in their robes with towels and worried looks. Excitement quickly took over as Carol volunteered to be our first plunger.

  Each jumper came back more reinvigorated and a little more bonded with the other jumpers. It is a rare group of people who get to do such a thing. But that can be said of things we do almost every day here with UnCruise. So here is to pushing yourself and expanding your boundaries, and here is to the polar plungers.
