      One of the charms of Petersburg is that it doesn't have a deep water port, so it's not accessible by big cruise ships, but some smaller ships stop there. The [url=http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/]Alaska Marine Highway[/url] provides regular ferry service.

    There is a local taxi and some local shuttle services. The local roads are also nice for bicycling, although the size of the island limits the overall distance one can travel. Rental cars are available from both the hotels in town. Boats can even be rented from the Scandia House.

    the southernmost tidewater glacier in the northern hemisphere. The glacier moves extremely quickly, offering almost continual calving, including underwater calving leading to "shooters" as icebergs rise rapidly to the surface from the hundreds of feet of submerged ice. Hundreds of harbor seals also inhabit the fjord created by the glacier; closer to the face you're likely to see them lolling about on icebergs.

    * Whale watching - as Petersburg is located on the south end of Frederick Sound, where many humpback whales summer, it is an ideal starting point for whale watching. Although it's less comfortable to be out on the sound during rougher weather, days with lots of waves are better for seeing aerial displays.



    * Clausen Memorial Museum [http://www.clausenmuseum.alaska.net] has local history exhibits.
    *Built in 1910, the Sons of Norway Hall is a registered historic landmark and continues to be at the center of many local social events, from weddings to dances to public meetings.

    Because Petersburg doesn't have a deep water port, it doesn't get the large cruise ships; thus, it isn't overrun with the large cruise line operated tourist shops that plague many such coastal towns. There are a few little locally owned galleries with local artists, and a bookstore with some nice coffee table books, but most of the town actually exists for the local population.
    *Lee's is a family owned business offering great outdoor clothes and a fine selection of Norwegian sweaters.
    *As mentioned above, Sing Lee Alley Books has an "Alaska Room" with a good assortment of Alaskana including field guides and history, but you can also find new releases and good selection of fiction to keep you happy during your trip.
