Alaska
Tracy Arm Fjord
Located approximately 50 miles south of Alaska's capital, Juneau, Tracy Arm Fjord is a beautiful protected area within the Tongass National Forest. Spanning nearly 30-miles across, the fjord was named for Civil War general Benjamin Franklin Tracy and contains the magnificent twin Sawyer glaciers. You'll have the chance to observe glacial calving as sizable chunks of ice fall into the water.
Mendenhall Glacier
Tucked in the coastal mountains around Juneau, this nearly 14-mile-long glacier cuts through the landscape and ends in a freshwater lake. Mendenhall is the best of Alaska’s ecosystems. It’s home to wildlife, and its rivers are brimming with salmon and trout. Not to mention, its forests burst from every inch of terrain, creating a true wonderland of nature.
Hubbard Glacier
Hubbard Glacier is an unforgettable sight. Alaska’s largest tidewater glacier rises hundreds of feet from the ocean floor and towers above the waves, radiating a brilliant blue in the daylight. Thanks to its exceptional movement speed — for a massive river of ice — the face of this Alaska glacier calves at an incredible rate, providing a breathtaking show for the lucky onlookers.
