Calving glaciers, abundant wildlife, and stunning natural beauty await
"A remote, immersive coastal wilderness where long summer daylight hours make for outstanding wildlife encounters — whales commonly swim nearby, eagles soar overhead, and bears forage along shorelines. The area feels peaceful and awe-inspiring but is changeable, so travelers are advised to pack layers and be prepared for sunshine, mist, and an early-fall chill." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"A showpiece of Southeast Alaska famed for massive calving glaciers and expansive blue ice—towering tidewater glaciers that periodically break off with thunderous force, framed by vivid waterways and exceptional wildlife viewing (seabirds and marine mammals); the sheer scale and immediacy of the ice leave visitors exhilarated while also confronting them with worries about how climate change may reshape the landscape." - Stephanie Wu
