Welcome
to Sea Trek's Alaska, in the expansive Tongass National
Forest of Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage. Our adventure
begins when we fly into tiny Petersburg on Mitkof
Island, 880 miles south of Juneau.
We paddle through glorious,
untouched wilderness where we hear the thunder of
calving icebergs and the awesome blows of the humpback
whale.
|
 |
|
The
Land of the Midnight Sun is our home
for this 9-day adventure. Relax at our 2 comfortable
base camps within the Tongass National Forest
and at the mouth of LeConte fjord and the southernmost
tidewater glacier.
|
 |
| Mountain
peaks tower above the waters of Frederick Sound
where Southeast Alaska's largest congregation of
Humpback Whales returns each summer. Slumber to
the sound of whales exhaling their tremendous breath
in the distance. This is Big Creek, the first of
our 2 base camps. We'll spend three nights amongst
the whales. |
Now
imagine flying just hundreds of feet above the Sound
looking for signs of whales below when you spot
the first iceberg. Then, your 6-person float plane
arcs and you begin your descent as you land amidst
an amarda of icebergs larger than a house.
Welcome to Le Conte fjord
and glacier. Wake each morning to a new array of
ice sculptures drifting in with the tide. During
our 3 days here we'll paddle up the fjord for a
view of LeConte glacier, paddle by thundering waterfalls
and explore the unique habitat of the Muskeg. |
