The Erin K. Johnson Memorial Fund helped support one of the Inspiring Girls Expeditions which served 9 young women on Girls on Ice, Alaska.
Last summer’s expedition took place in Fairbanks and on Gulkana Glacier in the Eastern Alaska Range from June 21 to July 2, 2019. During their expedition on the Gulkana Glacier, the team learned about the complexities of field science, explored their surroundings through artistic inquiry, and gained confidence and new skills through practicing leadership and living in the backcountry.
