Spectacular glaciers, grand landscapes, thousands of rivers and lakes, as well as an unparalleled flora and fauna – Alaska and Yukon are untouched natural paradises whose vastness and dimensions are barely comprehensible to the human imagination. This photo book showcases fascinating images of the two countries in the far north of America, their nature, mountains, animals, and plants. It also presents numerous opportunities to actively experience the overwhelming landscapes as a trekker, paddler, climber, or simply as a traveler. With excellent photographs, author and Alaska expert Gerhard Kraus captures this unique wilderness: expansive tundra and taiga areas, dense forests, and the over 50,000 kilometers of coastline, intricately carved by countless fjords and bays. The sight of the two highest peaks in North America, Mount McKinley and Mount Logan, leaves the viewer in awe.
