Alaska Glacier cruises are one way itineraries that sail from North to South or South to North. These itineraries allow you to spend more days in Alaska ports or National Glacier Parks at Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay as there are fewer days at sea compared to a round-trip cruise. If you only have a week and want maximum glacier viewing and time on land, this is your best choice for an Alaska Cruise Vacation. The Alaska Cruise season begins in late April and continues through September. Whether you cruise when the Inside Passage is blanketed with spring wildflowers or ablaze with fall foliage you’ll be awed at Alaska’s natural wonders. Spring whale migrations, fall bald eagle gatherings, winter trumpeter swans – exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities and substantial savings can be found during spring and fall.

I have just found one very interesting and promising way to explore endless lands of Alaska. What about a trip over the glaciers, mountains, and islands across Kachemak Bay in our fully restored classic Alaskan seaplane.

If this type of journey fits your interests, Kachemak Bay Flying Service is what you need. On our one-hour scenic flight you will fly over glaciers and ice fields, past ridges that are the summer home of Alaskan mountain goats and black bears. You will fly down green valleys, past waterfalls, through fjords where remote cabins dot the shoreline. There are quite often wild eagles, sea otters, and seals which you can see from the plane.

Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa and the most populous country on the African continent. Nigeria shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, Niger in the north, and borders the Gulf of Guinea in the south.

The people of Nigeria have an extensive history, and based on archaeological evidence, human habitation of the area dates back to at least 9000 BC. The Benue-Cross River area is thought to be the original homeland of the Bantu migrants who spread across most of central and southern Africa in waves between the 1st millennium BC and the 2nd millennium AD. However, the Nigerian state came into being on October 1, 1960 when Nigeria declared its independence from the British and at present consists of 36 states and the federal capital territory. Nigeria re-achieved democracy in 1999 after a sixteen-year interruption by a series of military dictators. From 1966 until 1999, Nigeria had been ruled (except the short-lived second republic, 1979-1983) by military dictators who seized power in coups and counter-coups.
