I love these arctic regions, like those of Alaska and Canada, Norway and south New Zealand. BTW New Zealand is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland, because the Dutch Abel Tasman discovered New Zealand in 1642. The Danish Sjaelland ( in English Zealand) is quite another story.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-91083368063453182052010-10-20T02:54:47.557-06:002010-10-20T02:54:47.557-06:00We have just put a down payment on a cruise to Ala...We have just put a down payment on a cruise to Alaska on Princess Lines.
