Whittier is only 60 miles southeast
of Anch
orage on the western edge of Prince William Sound. With only 400
residents, fishing and tourism play an important part in Whittier's economy.
Whittier is also separated from the Alaska road system by a 2.5 mile long tunnel
that is alternately shared by one-way railroad and auto traffic.
In addition to witnessing glacier events like calving and icefalls, you'll also see breathtaking scenery, towering waterfalls and wildlife.
