In the Inside Passage, natural canals between islands and fjords, in a maze of narrows with powerful currents, the boat remains today the only means of access to territories of raw nature, where loggers and fishermen live in a few “villages at the end of the world”, appearing out of nowhere in the kingdom of grizzly and black bears.

Southeast Alaska was completely invaded by ice during the last “Little Ice Age” of the 18th century. Glaciers still resist in Glacier Bay National Park, crashing their seracs. Along the water there are humpback whales, orcas colonies, flown over by majestic sea birds such as the crested shearwater or the peregrine falcon.

The surge of glaciers during the last "Little Ice Age" of the 18th century forced the Tlingit nation around 1750 to flee their land which they had inhabited for centuries. Anchorages and walks at the foot of some of the 16 glaciers which pour an incredible amount of icebergs into the fjords. The landscapes of this immense glacial valley of 1,930 square miles (5,000 km²) are magnificent.
