Top of the World

Dear Travelers,

My exploration of Alaska continues to tiny Icy Strait Point and Anchorage, the state's largest municipality. Turning westward, I will follow a course from Kodiak Island along the Aleutian chain before bearing north to the Siberian outpost of Provideniya and onward to Nome. Entering the Arctic Circle, we begin a passage to the Atlantic, a journey attempted by intrepid explorers for some four hundred years before success was finally attained by Roald Amundsen in 1905. Blocked by ice much of the year the Northwest Passage remains impractical as a trade route but certainly provides ample adventure and breathtaking beauty along the way.

Rinell :-)
