Review:

Whether it's a grizzly bear fishing for salmon on the banks of an icy river or a moonrise over Mount Brooks, the images in Untamed Alaska embody the essence of the U.S.'s wildest state. Loosely organized into nine sections, this photographic odyssey takes the reader from Denali National Park into the islands, forests, and mountains of Alaska, and even beyond the Arctic Circle, to the very edge of the northern ice fields. Spectacular images of erupting volcanoes and forbidding glaciers alternate with intimate portraits of Alaska's flora and fauna: a field of lupines, a napping arctic fox, a Dall sheep soaking in the sun. The forward by Margaret E. Murie reveals the character and humor of the people who have made Alaska their home, while the short essays prefacing every chapter provide additional information about the land, the animals, and the environment that is Untamed Alaska.
