Alaska: America's Last Frontier:  Alaska is called the last frontier because of its vast unexplored wilderness and sparsely located towns so remote that many are unreachable by roads.  The state has more unexplored land than anywhere else in America, and the majority of this land is still not inhabited by humans.  This renders Alaska as inviting and mysterious for visitors as it is for locals.

​

Glaciers of Alaska:  Alaska currently has over one thousand glaciers; a few of these are advancing, but most are retreating.  Many of Alaska’s past glaciers have carved some of the most majestic scenery in North America, including Mt. Denali.  the best way to visit Alaska’s glaciers is on a cruise ship, where passengers can often get close enough to experience the waves and hear the “white thunder” generated by a major calving event.

​

The Inside Passage: is an intra-coastal waterway weaving through a complex inland archipelago stretching from Washington state to Alaska.   The sheltered waterway, home to many isolated communities, is one of the most scenic waterways in the world.  Visitors transiting the inside passage enjoy views of massive glaciers, towering mountains, deep fjords, and a spectacular array of wildlife, including sea lions, whales, eagles, and bears.

​

Lighthouses of the Pacific Northwest:  Lighthouses have played a prominent role in the history, culture, and art of the Pacific Northwest.  A visual tour of some of the most beautiful lighthouses in the region illustrates the history, structure, function, and charm of these silent sentinels of the sea.

​

The North Pacific:  Due of its geographic remoteness, The North Pacific has been one of the last places on earth to be explored in depth.  Interest in the area is now enjoying a resurgence, primarily due to the discovery of very rich fishing grounds and the region’s geostrategic proximity to the Bering Strait and the rapidly opening Northwest Passage.
