Take a ride on Alaska's marine highway as filmmakers step aboard for video cruise through 1,000 miles of scenic coastline while offering a fascinating look at some of the snowbound landscape's flourishing wildlife population and delving into its rich history. In addition to offering the rare opportunity to witness the carving of a totem pole by Native American craftsmen firsthand during a visit to the gateway city of Ketchikan, this release also allows viewers to take a closer look at Sitka's Russian roots, and experience just what it was like to be an early pioneer in a trip to the capital city of Juneau. A drive through the Mendenhall, America's most accessible glacier, a trip to Glacier Bay National Park, and a flight over Juneau Icefield brings the majesty of Alaska's awe-inspiring national treasures directly into viewer's living rooms.
