[{SlideShowNav}] !!!Cruise from Anchorage (Whittier) to Vancouver, Sept. 11- 15, 2005 Personal report by H. Maurer [{Image src='a562.jpg' width='900' class='image_left' caption='Whittier\\Photo: H. Maurer, Fall 2005' alt='Alaska' height='600' popup='false'}] %%lang,english We are driving with a bus from Fairbanks via Denali Park to Whittier [{GoogleMap location='Whittier, AK' zoom='8'}], the harbor where we are going to board our cruise ship. As we drive along the seashore we see a number of Beluga whales, and more and more glaciers sticking out. The final three miles to Whittier are very unusually: a two mile long tunnel used by both cars and the train (!) leads through the range that separates Anchorage region from Whittier: with the Kenai peninsula sticking out deep into the Pacific, using the harbour of Anchorage rather the one in Witter would make the voyage to Vancouver much longer. %% [{SET customtitle='Anchorage and Whittier (1)'}] [{Metadata Suchbegriff=' ' Kontrolle='Nein'}]
