8 THE ALASKA CRUISE NATURE S DRAMA EXPERIENCED DAILY. Among the many scenic gems on Alaska s southeast coastline, Hubbard Glacier is the most dramatic. Comprised of the longest river of ice in North America, beginning in Canada and flowing 76 miles to Russell Fjord, the glacier itself originates at Mount Logan, North America s second-tallest mountain. And, while 95% of the world s glaciers are retreating, Hubbard Glacier is still advancing. As the largest advancing tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier s terminal face is the dramatic end of a process that began 450 years ago as snowfall on the slopes of Mount Logan. The blue wall of ice rises 350 feet above the waterline and extends 250 feet below the sea. Movement of up to 36 feet every day results in daily calving breathtaking moments where ice cleaves off the wall, and can be the size of five-story buildings. With calving occurring on a daily basis, Hubbard Glacier offers the best opportunity to observe glacial processes as they unfold a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your captain will slowly turn your ship into Yakutat Bay, navigating the awe-inspiring wall of ice. Enjoy incredible picture-perfect views from just about anywhere on the ship as our dedicated onboard Naturalist narrates the experience and keeps an eye out for the whales, harbor seals, and otters that hunt in the bay s waters. With its massive 7-mile-wide face, and ever-changing wall of ice, Hubbard Glacier lives long in the memory of any visit to Alaska. 14

12 ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS DENALI With few established trails and only one road, Denali National Park remains one of the world s last true wilderness areas. Denali National Park boasts six million acres of pristine wild land. The varied subarctic landscape is home to grizzly bears, moose, caribou, Dall sheep and wolves, as well as endangered birds. Wild animals roam as they have for millennia through unspoiled backcountry of taiga forest, alpine tundra, and snow-capped peaks. The sheer expanse of wilderness, the solitude of Denali National Park s single road, and its status as one of the last true intact subarctic ecosystems, makes Denali one of the best places in the country to view wildlife in their natural habitat. The Visitor Center offers fascinating natural history exhibits, films, and the opportunity to meet and speak to rangers about Denali National Park, including its centerpiece Denali, known as The Great One. Towering at 20,320 feet, Denali is North America s highest mountain, and still growing. Risen from an elevation of just 2000 feet., the four miles she towers into the sky overpowers the already impressive Alaska Mountain Range that surrounds her. An untrammeled view on a clear day is a profound sight. The highly protected backcountry that makes up the majority of the park is cleaved only by a solitary road that runs 92-miles into the wilderness and stretches thorough bottomland taiga-subarctic evergreen forests, into the higher elevations that offer open views of the tundra-covered slopes and river valleys, all framed by the indomitable Alaska Range. And, while the backcountry s pristine wilderness is protected to endure, Denali s front-country is an amphitheater of the outdoors. Flight sightseeing planes soar over the mountains for breathtaking views, while rafting on the Nenana River can be a gentle float or a white-water ride. With the hinterland open to bike ride, off-road, or hike, Denali National park offers both active adventure and the protected and pristine wilderness. 22

13 ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS TALKEETNA Talkeetna s frontier spirit, rustic small-town charm, and breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of the Alaska Range are the embodiment of Alaskan hospitality and remote wilderness. ANCHORAGE Perched on the edge of the wilderness, nestled between Cook Inlet famous for its king salmon run and the Turnagain Arm, is the city of Anchorage. Among climbers, Talkeetna is recognized as the staging ground for preparations to summit Denali. Mountaineers from around the world start here, filling the town s hotels and bars with expedition excitement. With a population of under 1,000, Talkeetna s locals keep the backcountry spirit of Alaska alive. Located literally at the end of the road, the log cabin cafés, gold-rush-era historic district, and Main Street provide a place where you can mill with the bohemians, aviators, and adventurers who call the town home, including Stubbs, the feline honorary mayor. Situated near the base of Denali for over one hundred years, the unique location offers breathtaking views of the tallest peak in North America and provides every imaginable way to experience the overpowering magnificence of The Great One from seasoned bush pilots taking you up into the skies and over the breathtaking north face, to leisurely hikes on quiet trails, to river rafting down the glacially fed Talkeetna river. With Main Street running the scope of backcountry cuisine from brew pubs to fine dining to converted air streams serving namesake signature dishes and teeming with eclectic personalities, you ll see Talkeetna lives by her unofficial motto, Talkeetna; Where the road ends and life begins. Blending cosmopolitan excitement and the great outdoors, the city s youthful exuberance contributes to its lively nightlife, eclectic dining, and sense of adventure. Beyond the city limits of Alaska s Big Apple, nature commands the terrain. As many as 60 glaciers are located within an hour s drive. Urbanites can often be found hiking beside their crystal-clear blue walls by day, and by night under the late evening sun, socializing at a downtown brewery and enjoying local craft beer. And even on weekdays it s not uncommon to find a suited city worker angling for a catch on a lunch break. With 250 miles of trails within the city alone, and moose known to pass through city neighbourhoods, or even whales surfacing in the waters along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Anchorage s long summer days mean more time to explore its natural beauty by day and sample the all-embracing culinary fare long into the evening. Anchorage has long been known as a melting pot for the Native Peoples of Alaska and this makes it the destination to discover the native history, art, and crafts that are at the heart of the Alaskan identity. The Anchorage Museum preserves an extensive collection of native art, filling the Alaska gallery, spanning prehistoric times to present day. And the Alaskan artifacts at the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center were curated and interpreted with help from the Alaska Native Heritage Center, a renowned cultural center and an exciting place to connect with indigenous residents who still call Alaska home. 24

14 ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS ALASKA LAND DESTINATIONS SEWARD Edging the Kenai Peninsula and framed by the glacier-covered Kenai Mountains that run along its southeastern spine, Seward is a rustic port town whose grand terrain will leave you breathless. FAIRBANKS Fairbanks is the embodiment of the pure Alaskan spirit, with its gold rush roots, hardy locals, and famed midnight sun. The pristine wilderness of the Kenai Peninsula is home to nesting seabirds, countless islands, wetlands, and breathtaking coastal views. And, as the gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park, the Harding Icefield an expanse of ice and snow created over 23,000 years ago is easily within reach and culminates in 40 glaciers that dramatically calve into the sea. The throngs of wildlife that course below, and glide above the glacial waters, are legion. Pods of humpback whales are known to breach when hunting, seals and sea lions lounge on rocky outcroppings and bald eagles hover overhead. The rugged landscape suits Seward s hardy locals well. Every July 4th, Seward s runners race 1.5 miles up and down Mount Marathon. Starting at sea level, the race rises 3,000 feet in elevation over very steep terrain. Runners race over gullies, ice, and snow, using their hands to haul themselves to the finish line. And, when not racing up mountains, you can find stalwart locals at city watering holes and dining spots, where you can savor fresh Alaskan seafood, filleted and flayed straight from the ocean to your plate. Situated at a grand natural intersection where bays and fjords stretching south to the Pacific meet the crested wilderness and connected to communities extending northwards via the famously scenic Seward Highway Seward is emblematic of the wildly beautiful state that is Alaska. Born of a turn-of-the-century trader who found himself stranded in what is present-day downtown, Fairbanks was founded when gold was discovered nearby and the trading post blossomed into a thriving city that outlasted its gold rush boom. Today, locals pride themselves on their independence and endurance, many being descended from Native Peoples and the gold rush prospectors whose self-sufficiency was the driving force of the town s conception. Hugging the northern bank of the Chena River that converges with the unyielding Tanana, the Chena sternwheelers that navigate Fairbanks s waters afford breathtaking views of the city and countryside, while also offering a glimpse into Alaska s rich interior traditions. Exploring Fairbanks means participating in the day-to-day experiences that have contributed to Fairbanks referring to itself as extremely Alaska. Immerse yourself in the same Hot Springs where turn of the century gold miners found reprieve from the near-freezing creeks where they panned for gold. Or pan for gold yourself in one of the many creeks that still turn up flakes of gold. Admire the enduring native art treasures on display at the Museum of the North, whose shimmering contours reflect the mountain ranges that encircle it. With the locals playing late into the night, like the midnight sun baseball game held every solstice, your options to explore are as lengthy as the long summer nights. And as the gateway to the Arctic, Fairbanks is rich with the history of Alaska s pioneers, and offers a window into their authentic Alaskan way of life that still exists today. 26
