• Inland Highlights – while primarily a coastal map, key inland towns and mountain ranges are shown to help with orientation.

❄️ Side 2 – Alaska’s Panhandle & Glacier Bay

The reverse side captures the Alaska Panhandle in exceptional detail—a region of islands, fjords, and inlets beloved by cruise passengers worldwide.
