The Icy Strait is a strait in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska. The strait separates Chichagof Island to the south and the Alaska mainland to the north. The strait is 64 km (40 mi) from its west side at the intersection of the Cross Sound and Glacier Bay to its east side at Chatham Strait and the Lynn Canal. The two largest islands in the strait are Pleasant Island and Lemesurier Island. The Cape Spencer Light is an important former lighthouse and currently active aid-to-navigation. Icy Strait Point is Alaska Native owned-and-operated, with all profits directly supporting the community of Hoonah, Alaska’s largest Native Tlingit village. Our dedicated staff (85% of which call Hoonah home) is committed to providing a one-of-a-kind experience for every guest that is infused with our local Native culture and hospitality.

Dag 4

hubbard glacier (cruising)

Ankomst: 09:30 - Avreise: 14:30

The Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in the Saint Elias Mountains in Alaska (United States) and in the Yukon Territory (Canada). From its origin in the Yukon Territory the glacier stretches 122 km to Disenchantment Bay and Yakutat Bay. That makes it the longest glacier in Alaska ending in the water, while its facade measures more than ten km. Before reaching the water, it is joined by the Valerie Glacier, which contributes, according to experts, an additional push that in the long term will lead to the definitive separation of Russell Fjord from Disenchantment Bay. In May 1986, and in the spring of 2002, this separation took place, however only for a couple of months, giving rise to Lake Russell. After in 1986 the flow of the fjord after the summer reached a level of 25 m above sea level, approx. At midnight on October 8, 1986, the water pressure managed to pierce the ice wall and the fjord was again united with the ocean.1 It was the second largest Jökulhlaup in recorded history.

Dag 6

ketchikan, alaska

Ankomst: 14:00 - Avreise: 20:30

Ketchikan is a city in and the borough seat of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough of Alaska. It is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. With a population at the 2010 census of 8,050, it is the fifth-most populous city in the state, and tenth-most populous community when census-designated places are included. The surrounding borough, encompassing suburbs both north and south of the city along the Tongass Highway (most of which are commonly regarded as a part of Ketchikan, albeit not a part of the city itself), plus small rural settlements accessible mostly by water, registered a population of 13,477 in that same census. US Census results put the 2019 population at 13,901 people. Incorporated on August 25, 1900, Ketchikan is the earliest extant incorporated city in Alaska, because consolidation or unification elsewhere in Alaska resulted in the dissolution of those communities' city governments. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver. Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. "Ketchikan" comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean "the river belonging to Kitschk"; other accounts claim it means "Thundering Wings of an Eagle". In modern Tlingit, this name is Kichx̱áan.
