Last Great American Wilderness.

'National Geographic Destinations': travel to faraway corners of the world - with maps, 100 full-colour photographs, and a personal narrative.

'Treasures Of Alaska' celebrates the many lives and unique landscapes that make up the vast and storied land in this latest addition to the 'National Geographic Destinations' series. From the beauty and solitude of Alaska's mountain ranges and lush forests to the awesome power of its glaciers and volcanoes, this book offers an astonishing combination of prose and photographs that fires the imagination and seizes the eye.

Visiting the places and people whose natures are true to the spirit of this still wild frontier, award-winning travel writer Rennicke and photographer Michael Melford follow a dogsled team up a frozen mountain river in search of an Alaskan Eden; hike along active volcanoes that brim and boil in the Aleutian Islands; camp on the Juneau Icefield with one of the world's leading experts on glaciers; summit Mount McKinley with a double-amputee bush pilot in a triumph of spirit and determination over the mountain that almost killed him; and journey back through Alaska's human history, to the times of the Gold Rush miners, totem pole carvers, and nomadic hunters who crossed the Bering Land Bridge and discovered new land.

From grizzlies to glaciers, fishing boats to northern lights, 'Treasures Of Alaska' uncovers the wild heart and the endless challenge that make Alaska a land of enduring beauty and undying dreams.
