ALASKA TRAVEL INFORMATION
Map of Alaska

Extensive Alaska journey, going from the rain forests of the south-east, to the arctic tundra north of the arctic circle. This trip to Alaska was made in the middle of June, to take full advantage of the extra light given by the summer solstice and to avoid the tourist busy months of July and August. Travel through authentic natural wonders, looking for brown bears (grizzly), whales, orcas, glaciers, pristine rain forests and remote Eskimo villages.
