Up north
there's a land without fences. Animals outnumber
people, sunlight shines at midnight and nature
reigns. Life is different. This northern frontier
still boasts pristine landscapes, majestic wildlife
and a coastline that is one of the most enthralling
waterways in the world. Beyond Alaska's
fortress-like glacier walls lie scenic ports of
call, treasured national parks, and abundant
wildlife. And, with more than 1,400 miles north to
south and 2,400 miles east to west, it's truly, a
land of epic proportions. |
