Alaska Getaways 2008

Alaska Getaways A land of rugged coastlines, ice-carved fjords and towering glaciers. A land of verdant mountains, temperate rainforests and thundering waterfalls. A land where wildlife abounds and humans are scarce. Where waters teem with whales, porpoise, seals, sea otters and salmon. Where hungry bears forage for shellfish on rocky shores. Where bald eagles, kittiwakes and terns glide effortlessly overhead and puffins, loons and grebes float like buoys atop cold, nutrientrich water.
