旅游宣传片制作-冬季的阿拉斯加
冬季的阿拉斯加阿拉斯加东南沿海的冬季是一段特别的期间。成群搭乘游轮的观光客都已离去,所有的人都悠闲自在而且是令人想像不到的和善。只要在那待上个几天,镇上的居民就会在杂货店里认得你了。如果你够幸运能避开冬天的暴风而到阿拉斯加一游,你将带着难以形容的美景记忆而归。如果碰到糟糕的天气呢?那么,各家博物馆中的导游们是寂寞得很,就可以为你作专人的导游了。 花了一周多点的时间,我拜访了阿拉斯加东南的3个主要城镇:凯契根(有各种图腾,爱斯基摩单人轻舟,特有的地方艺术),锡特卡(有世界级的博物馆令人惊叹的历史,一艘让你以潜水艇的视野看到水中世界的水中展望船)和朱诺(观赏冰河及冰河滑雪)。在凯契根划皮舟凯契根机场单独坐落在一座小岛上。你在那降落,走出机场后就要登上渡船。兴建一座桥梁的计划正在酝酿中,但有些当地居民却不赞同。他们对于等候、渡水,以及整个阿拉斯加不便利的生活方式都甘之如饴。我抵达凯契根那天刚下过雪。当天晚上就放晴了,而第二天早晨的美景就足以作为冬天北行的理由了。 早上9点,当我乘单人舟出发时,水面仍波平如镜。一只海豹在离我3米处从水里探出头来。在开阔的水域上。似镜般的水面配上积雪霭霭的群山作背景,偶尔还有老鹰翱翔飞过,简直就和旅游手册中的景致如出一辙。我朝当地的一家罐头工厂划去,那里有数以百计的海鸥快速地上下来回啄食着小片的鱼肉,还有6只老鹰伫立在一旁的路标和标示竿上。 在锡特卡潜水坏天气在锡特卡没放过我。但这里有丰富的历史–锡特卡曾是俄属阿拉斯加的首府–其历史资料多到让你在室内就看得目不暇给,而我也真的拜访了镇上每一家博物馆。俄国的主教公署建于1842年,是个储存历史文化资料的时间胶囊,完整保留了19世纪的俄罗斯生活。原来的家具,器具至衣物都原样呈现。薛尔顿•杰克森博物馆虽小,但却收藏了来自各地最为精致的土著文物:象牙雕刻、木制工具,肠线及皮革做的衣物、船只还有编织精美的阿留申人制的篮子。 要想知道有关早期定居者的故事,就要到伊莎贝尔•米勒博物馆。那有伐木工具、历史性画作、俄国文物以及一座按美国在1867年买下锡特卡时的原貌所做成的模型。如果你想近距离地观赏老鹰,可以拜访阿拉斯加猛禽中心和居住其中的20多只鸟。受伤的鸟在那里接受治疗,如果可能,随后便把它放生。我还参观了当地原住民和俄罗斯的民俗舞蹈特别表演,然后搭乘半潜船做了趟海洋生活发现之旅。 看上面,半潜船和一般船看起来没什么两样;但下面,则是一个长长的的板凳座椅,有着又大又厚的玻璃窗。它能载运40个人到水深6英尺处,提供好比置身于观光潜水艇一般的视野。在我的旅程中。我们盘旋在成堆巨大的海星之上,看着鱼群慵懒地游过。航程的最高潮是我们去看了一间沉在水底的船屋,掠过了它覆满着藤壶的船舱和栏杆,看起来就像是铁达尼号中的一景。朱诺的冰河我要朱诺乘直升机去滑雪–要价每个人1天350美元的价格–那可不是一件人人想尝试的经验。但如果你热爱滑雪,可就来对地方了。这里有落差1800米的冰河斜坡。景观令人屏息,而导游则十分称职且谨慎。 隔天,当太阳照在冰层时我正巧抵达缅田豪冰河。到处结满椅子白霜,将所有的树枝都覆盖了起来,形成水晶簇。我走过一片布满冰树林的梦幻之地,下到结冰的湖边,近距离一探冰河的原貌。接着我又搭乘直升机从上空飞越俯瞰冰河。朱诺冰瀑是个冰湖,从此流出37条冰河,从白雪地上延伸出来。有时,它看起来平顺得像张床单。然后起了涟漪,接着就崩裂。 在此地下方的冰河发出深蓝色的光泽。准备好到阿拉斯加一游?阿拉斯加的东南部并不像你所想的的在那么遥远的北方。事实上,凯契根仅仅距离西雅图1300千米,即使在12月,日照从早上8点持续到下午3点过后。天气酷似西雅图,气温靠近冰点,并且常有毛毛雨。并不是所有的场所有冬季都开放,但那些营业的店竭诚欢迎观光客并提供优厚的折扣,又是另一个选择在冬季到此一游的好理由。 Alaska in winter Winter in coastal southeast Alaska is a special time. The crowds of cruise tourists are gone and everyone is laidback and incredibly friendly. Stay several days and people in town will start recognizing you the grocery store. If you are lucky enough to visit Alaska between winter storms, you will take home memories of scenery that can hardly be described. And if the weather is horrible? Well, there are museums with guides so lonely, you’ll get a personal tour. In a bit more than a week, I hit the three main southeast Alaska towns: Ketchikan (totems, kayaking, funky local art), Sitka(world class museums, wonderful history, a semisubmersible that gives you a submarine’s eye view of the water ) and Juneau (glacier viewing, glacier skiing). Kayaking in Ketchikan The Ketchikan airport sits on its own little island. You land, walk outside and climb on a ferry. There’s a move afoot to build a bridge but some locals don’t want it. They like the wait, the water crossing, the whole inconvenient Alaskan lifestyle. It had snowed the day I arrived in Ketchikan. It cleared that night, and the scene the next morning was reason enough to come north in winter. At 9 a.m., the water was still glass smooth as I headed out in a kayak. A seal poked his head up 3 m (10feet) from me. Out on open water, the mirror surface with the snow-capped mountains in the background and an occasional eagle soaring past was straight out of a tourist brochure, I paddled down to a local cannery where hundreds of seagulls bobbed for fish tidbits and half a dozen eagles sat on signs and posts. Submerged in Sitka Bad weather caught up with me in Sitka. But there’s enough history here-Sitka was the capital of Russian Alaska-to keep you quite busy indoors and I hit virtually every museum in town. The Russian Bishop’s house, built in 1842, is a time capsule for 19th-century Russian living. Original furniture, appliances and even clothing are in place. The Sheldon Jackson Museum is small but has one of the finest collections of native cultural artifacts found anywhere: ivory carvings, wood tools, gut and skin clothes, boats and finely woven Aleut baskets. For the settler’s story, hit the Isabel Miller Museum. It has logging tools, historic paintings, Russian artifacts and a model of what Sitka looked like when the U.S. bought it in 1867. If you want eagles up close, visit the Alaska Raptor Center with its two dozen resident birds. Injured birds are treated and, if possible, returned to the wild. I also attended a special performance of Native and Russian folkdances and then took a ride on the Sea Life Discovery Tour semisubmersible. Above, the semisubmersible looks like any boat but below, there’s a long room with bench seats and large, thick windows. This puts 40 people six feet under water with a view like one from a tourist sub. On my trip, we hovered over piles of huge starfish and watched fish swim lazily by. For the climax, we visited a sunken houseboat, skimming past cabins and railings covered with barnacles. It looked like a scene from Titanic. Juneau’s Glaciers I went heliskiing in Juneau, which-at US$350 per person for a day-is not something everyone will want to do. But if you’re into skiing, this is the place. There are glacier runs here that drop 1,800m (6,000 feet). The scenery is breathtaking, and the guides competent and careful. The next day, I got to Mendenhall Glacier just in time for sun to hit the ice. Hoarfrost was everywhere, encapsulating every branch and forming crystal clusters. I walked through a fantasyland of icy trees, down to the frozen lake for a front row look at the glacier. Then I took a sightseeing tour in a helicopter up and over the glaciers. The Juneau Icefall is a lake of ice that flows into 37 glaciers jutting from a floor of white. Sometimes, it looks smooth as a bed sheet. Then ripples appear and then cracks. Here the glacier below glows cobalt. Ready to Visit Alaska? Southeast Alaska is not as far north as you might think. In fact, Ketchikan is only 1,100 km (680 miles) from Seattle. Even in December, daylight lasts from 8 a.m. to beyond 3p.m. The weather is a lot like Seattle’s, with temperatures near freezing point and lots of drizzle. Not everything is open in winter but those open businesses welcome visitors with open arms and hefty discounts-yet another good reason to visit in wintertime.
