Well all that talk about the Matanuska Glacier made me want to take a visit so heres one for you elena. 
I drove up to the glacier with a friend of mine and we stayed on a pullout with a great view of the glacier. We then drove back the next day and climbed at a place callled wookie wall before heading home.
We woke up and had some breakfast. I have definatly had worst views!
Above the Mat Glacier
Further down the glacier
The lake at the toe of the Mat Glacier is visible on the far left of the photo.
Further to the right of peak #3
This is a peak visible on the left from Purinton Creek
These peaks are directly to the right of peak #5
The only peak I actually knew. King Peak.
And a Panorama I made of Wookie Wall at Weiner Lake Alaska.
Well thats it for that one.

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
Have you ever tried putting together a pano of the peaks and glacier?
If you put pictures 6 & 7 together (6 on the left), that was the view driving down Victory Road back towards Hwy 1, if I remember correctly. Victory Road is at mile post 95, and down that road is where Victory Bible Camp is and where I used to live when my parents taught at the boarding school that was once there. I LOVE that view!

There was a dusting of snow on the mountains here in Santa Barbara this morning. This usually does not happen this late in the year
Great views of an awesome local
