Inian Islands

Inian Islands

The Inian Islands, formerly known as Novo-Arkhangelsk under Russian rule, are located between Cross Sound and Icy Strait, serving as the gatekeepers to the northern entrance of the fabled Inside Passage. The islands are exposed to the high-energy seas of the Pacific Ocean, with severe tidal currents rushing through narrow channels. The area is famously nicknamed 'The Laundry Chute' due to its notorious reputations. Situated in Alaska, these islands provide a stunning backdrop with guaranteed glacier viewing on every cruise.
