DescriptionThe boundlessness of the place will grab you first, for there is nowhere as far-flung as Alaska. It will alter your concept of space. Tundra, sky, mountains, and sea: Alaska is a place you don’t just visit; you experience it. Glaciers calve into the sea, Arctic tundra stretches beyond the horizon, rugged and expansive mountains reach into the sky, wildlife is abundant, and humans are scarce. The Land of the Midnight Sun has a whopping 238 million acres of public land, and you’ll have the chance to explore a slice of it. Your semester in Alaska includes everything from forested coastlines to the snow and ice of the high mountain peaks to the tundra and rivers in between. In the long days of the northern summer, you’ll have plenty of time to learn about and travel through wild Alaska. Hiking takes you to the continent’s largest assemblage of glaciers and its greatest collection of peaks over 16,000 feet in elevation. The semester’s mountaineering section travels even further into this area, an ideal training ground for learning to live and climb on snow and ice. Finally, you will spend 23 days sea kayaking in Prince William Sound. Details
