Description
Fresh walrus ivory carving by Anders Apassingok Junior (Saint Lawrence Island Yupik). Hand carved from locally, subsistance harvested walrus. Anders learned to carve from the elders who in turn learned from generations of elders passing the art down. Each piece is carved from a tusk that is cured for several weeks and is unique in color and pattern. Fresh ivory is legal for use by all Alaska Native artisans.

Day in Seward & Kenai Fjords National Park
Enjoy this full-day tour through scenic Sewards as well Kenai Fjords National Park! This full-day adventure features the best of South Central Alaska. Travel in a comfortable van from Anchorage to Seward, traveling along the scenic Turnagain Arm, past a series of backcountry glaciers and through the Placer River Valley. Upon arrival to the seaside town of Seward, you will embark on a 6-hour coastal catamaran cruise and explore Kenai Fjords National Park and the dramatic coastline of Resurrection Bay. Experience superb wildlife viewing in the Chiswell Islands Wildlife Refuge and get an up-close view of tidewater glaciers. Lunch is included onboard the cruise. That evening, make the return journey to Anchorage via road or the optional rail service back to Anchorage on the Alaska Railroad Coastal Classic with premium Gold-Star service. Kenai Fjords National Park: Spend a day cruising the unspoiled wonders of Kenai Fjords National Park. The narrated tour begins when your vessel ventures out from Seward to Resurrection Bay. Then, you’ll head out to the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska around Cape Aialik to the face of a tidewater glacier. As you marvel at the serene surroundings, listen for the thunder of “calving”—a process by which glaciers shed giant blocks and slabs of ancient ice and send it crashing into the still waters of this protected bay. Watch for a variety of marine life such as humpback whales, orcas, seabirds, sea lions, and otters. A complimentary lunch is served as you keep track of your route on flat-screen monitors.
