アラスカ | 49 GLORIOUSLY UNTAMED, FROM GLACIERS TO GRIZZLIES The Alaskan capital, Juneau, reveals itself as a scenic wonder. On your shore excursion, as a helicopter carries you over the sparkling tableau of Mendenhall Lake, your appreciation for Alaska’s array of snowcapped peaks, glistening waterways and lush rainforests soars as high as the bald eagles that rule Juneau’s skies. Your spine tingles as the 21km Mendenhall Glacier comes into view, its crevasses aglow like deep-blue beacons. After touching down, you set out upon its white and blue surface, a mountaineering guide sharing facts, figures and tales of this slowly shrinking — but breathtakingly immense — North American wonder. Trekking atop a glacier is but one Alaskan experience beckoning you to the Last Frontier. Discover opportunities to kayak in Sitka, catch a lumberjack show in Ketchikan, chase Klondike gold rush legends in Skagway, watch for moose, grizzlies and foxes in Denali National Park, and more.
