Ketchikan, Alaska Ketchikan, Alaska Day 3
In addition to being the jumping-off point for seaplane excursions into the Misty Fjords National Monument and its 2.2 million acres of wilderness nirvana, Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit tribe. Another "must-see" here is the world's largest collection of totem poles. You can learn what motivates someone to turn a piece of lumber into a towering work of art at the Saxman Native Village and Totem Bight and Totem Heritage Center.

Hubbard Glacier Hubbard Glacier (Cruising) Day 4
Hubbard Glacier is the one glacier in the world that does not move at a glacial pace. Quite the opposite.

Keep a watchful eye as you sail through the Yakutat Bay, as you may be a witness to geological history.
