Never Exceed Speed
Colony Glacier
Colony Glacier hanging over Inner Lake George.
On the left side next the mountain, near where the glacier falls into the lake, the wreckage of a C-124 military aircraft was re-discovered.
In November 1954, this aircraft took off from Washington state heading towards Elmendorf AFB in Alaska, but never made it due encountering poor weather as they needed to descend over the Chugach Mountains into Anchorage.
The wreckage was discovered again in 2012, having moved nearly 14 miles down the mountain since 1954, as the glacier has ebbed down from the original crash site.
