ALASKA CRUISES Long days of sunlight and relative warmth make summer a perfect time to travel to America’s larg-est state. As all the locals know, however, Alaskan weather is defined by its unpredictability, with sunny days turning suddenly stormy—and vice versa! When cruising the south central and southeastern coasts, be prepared for wet weather and mild maritime temperatures. Alaskan summers rare-ly get hot, but can be comfortably warm with temperatures ranging from the lower 60s to the lower 70s. The best months to cruise Alaska are July and August, when the temperatures are at their highest and the weather is generally more sunny.July and August are also prime months in terms of wildlife viewing. Brown bears come out to fish along the rivers during these months, and moose can be seen feeding in lakes, ponds, and along rivers from spring through-out the summer. Also be on the lookout for seals and dolphins, which are easily seen from the deck of your ship. And of course, one cannot forget

about the whales! Fortu-nate travelers may have the chance to see beluga whales or even one of the three pods of orcas which frequent Alaskan waters in the summer. Then there are the one thousand humpback whales that spend their summer feed-ing in southeast Alaska, and those on a cruise in July or August have a good chance of seeing them as they traverse Frederick Sound. As sum-mer shifts to fall, some of these massive beauties stop in the waters near Sitka to build up their food reserves before heading south to the tropics.

Summer may be prime travel time, but there are also advantages to taking an Alaska cruise during the shoulder seasons of May/June and Septem-ber. Though the weather may be somewhat cool-

er and wetter, the tourist crowds are smaller, the mosquitoes fewer, and the daylight hours more regu-lar, with no midnight sun to interfere with one’s sleep-ing patterns. The spring months are prime for spot-ting moose (particularly in the Kenai Peninsula) and Dall sheep as they move down the slopes for better grazing, while September is ideal for sighting hump-back whales, spawning salmon, and caribou migrating to their winter feeding grounds.

ALASKA WILDLIFEWildlife has come to de-fine Alaska. Images of

grand grizzlies, a breach-ing humpback whale, or a bald eagle snatching a salmon from a stream have come to symbolize the spirit of the United States\’ largest state. The list of Alaskan wildlife is

long and diverse. Here is a sampling of Alaska\’s most famous inhabitants.

BEARSNearly 98 percent of the country\’s grizzly bears live in Alaska. They are found throughout Alaska, but are salmon hungry, so look for grizzlies in salmon country in southwestern region of the state and along the Gulf of Alaska\’s coast. Black bears, rang-ing in colors from blue-black, cinnamon brown, and even a rare creamy white, are usually spotted inland, in forested areas. Unlike the larger grizzlies, these black bears are

excellent climbers. Ko-diaks are a sub-species of the grizzly and found only on the Kodiak archi-pelago. At 1,500 pounds, they are the largest bears in the world. In sea ice of the Arctic region, the

lucky traveler might have the chance to spot the elusive, brilliant white Polar Bear.

MOOSEMoose are found through-out the state, except in the extreme north. A bull moose can weight up to 1,600 pounds – combine their size with their huge antlers, this makes the moose an impressive animal and a favorite for wildlife enthusiasts. Trav-elers have spotted moose wandering the in city lim-its, along highways, rail-ways and in the state\’s numerous parks and reserves. Kenai Peninsula has a moose refuge; this wildlife sanctuary is an ex-cellent place to find these large horse-sized deer.

WHALESWhales are so common in Alaska that some gutsy sight-seeing tours mar-ket a \’whale sighting guarantee.\’ Humpback whales spend the sum-mer feeding on the nutrient rich waters in the Gulf of Alaska. Humpbacks are found throughout the Inside Passage, in Gla-cier Bay, Prince William Sound and around the waters of Kodiak Islands. The distinctive black and white orcas and also commonly spotted in large groups in Southeast Alaska. Smaller belugas are found in Cook Inlet and the Turnagain Arm near Anchorage, while

bowhead whales feed in Alaska\’s icy Arctic waters in the northern region of the state.

OTHER MARINE MAMMALSSea otters are a universal favorite for their playful manner and curious per-sonality. Adult sea otters reach roughly 4.5 feet, and are frequently seen in kelp beds and along the coasts of Prince William Sound. A variety of seals including the Steller fur seal and Harbor seal are also very common on Alaskan coasts. Another famous marine mam-mal is the walrus. These huge animals can weight 2 tons. Both males and females grow the distinc-tive tusks, which they use for fighting and maneuver-ing their massive bodies out of the water. Walruses typically follow the sea ice, seasonally migrating northward in the summer months.

BIRDS BIRDS BIRDSThousands of birds nest, breed, migrate and inhabit Alaska\’s coasts, prairies and mountains. In June, the wide variety of song-birds have nothing but praises to sing as they busy themselves with courtships and preparing for new hatchlings. Bald eagles circle the coasts and streams where the salmon are abundant, while golden eagles search for small rodents in

Denali National Park. Oth-er popular birds are Alas-ka\’s loons, owls, swans, puffins, and the state bird ptarmigan, which has the curious ability to change white in the winter and brown in the summer months.

Alaska’s Ancient HistoryThe earliest

human inhabitants of the region of modern-day Alaska were Asiatic groups who crossed the Bering Land Straight ap-proximately 40,000 years ago. The vast majority of pre-Colombian peoples of the America’s crossed on this land bridge, and those who stayed in what is now Alaska became the region’s indigenous groups. The largest group is the Inuit, and they are accompanied by the Alu-et, Northern Athabascan, Haida, Yupik, and other peoples. These people survived the harsh winters subsisting on their formi-dable fishing and hunting skills. The whale provided the most productive kill, with its considerable meat and blubber benefiting each member of the com-munity. They also hunted (and still hunt today, in many instances) walrus-es, caribou, musk oxen, seals, and polar bears. The Inuit used dog sleds for transportation, and the husky dog breed is credited to those people.

Inuit sea hunters are also credited with the creation of the kayak; their fur-cov-ered boats could easily be righted by a single person, and so the Euro-peans copied the utilitari-an design. A trip to Alaska may yield a glimpse of the traditional boat, or better yet, and adventure in one.

The word Alaska origi-nates from the Aleut word alaxsxaq, which means “mainland”. In the Aleut connotation, it literally means “the object toward which the action of the sea is directed”.

Alaska’s Legacy of Fur

Trading, Gold, and OilAlaska was discovered by European explorers in 1741 by Danish explorer Vitus Bering, aboard the Russian Navy ship St. Pe-ter. The Russian-American Company began hunting otters soon after, and engaged in an unsuc-cessful attempt to colonize the region; shipping costs to the far north were too high, and the colony was a drain on profits. The region became a place of competition for resources, claims, and exploration between Russia, United States, Spain, and En-gland, though Russia held on tight to her claim.
