Alaska tourisem is an important part of the local economy for the state of Alaska. The aerial photo of Radiance of the Seas a RCCL cruise ship visiting the Hubbard Glacier is just one of just over one hundred visits like this per year. The tourist have a unique opertunety to see what few people get to see, see the glacier up close and a chance to hear the sounds of the glacier as the frozen river of ice flowes down the vally to the sea. Experiencing part of the great state of Alaska onboard the cruise ship is a unique way to come to see some of South East Alaska and the unique senic view it brings, an experience worlds apart from experiencing western Alaska and the native villages and a very unique way of subsistence living of the land. Alaska is and will always be a land of great contrast and it has something very unique to give to each and every visitor and resident of the state alike.
