If you're dogsledding, are you on a glacier?

I'm sure this is a dumb question. I want to land on a glacier and go dogsledding. Are they one in the same?

If your dog-sledding involves a helicopter and a bunch of $$$, it's on a glacier (or snowfield). If it involves a van and a lot less $, it's a wheeled cart on dirt. Is $$$ a better experience than $? - you betcha! :)

The dog camps are on more "snow" than ice. If you want more ice- with crevases etc, then just take a regular glacier helicopter landing, usually within walking distance there is plenty of ice and that spectacular BLUE. :)

As per above, distinguish between wheeled and snow and then decide what you want for the "on the glacier experience." For me, it meant exploring the ice formations rather than the snow and this issue outweighed the desire to be with the dogs.
