This glorious and massive mount of ice has been nicknamed the 'galloping glacier' because of how rapidly its advancing towards the Gulf of Alaska through Disenchantment Bay.  Experience Hubbard Glacier with the Glacier's calving, see the seals, whales, wildlife, eagles, etc.

Ketchikan is an Alaskan city facing the Inside Passage, a popular cruise route along the state's southeastern coast. Perhaps the most noticeable symbols of traditional heritage are the totem poles, which tell stories of people, places, and events. Ketchikan has more totem poles than anywhere else in Alaska, ranging from 19th-century poles from now-abandoned villages to more recent carvings.  Nearby Misty Fiords National Monument is a glacier-carved wilderness featuring snowcapped mountains, waterfalls and salmon spawning streams. It's also home to rich wildlife including black bears, wolves and bald eagles.  Due to our thriving, century-old commercial fishery, Ketchikan is known as “The Salmon Capital of the World.” They are proud of their fishing culture and passionate about providing opportunities for visitors to catch and/or otherwise enjoy the best seafood on the planet.
