Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"For years, Carl Battreall, with cameras in tow, has been wandering the Alaska Range to tell his stories in elusive moments of light that reveal the changing mood of the land or the unexpected presence of wildlife." -- from the foreword by Art Davidson

Stretching across more than 650 miles, arced like a rising crescent moon, the alaska range is a wall of formidable mountains that separates the south-central coast from the interior of the state. It is best known for encompassing renowned Denali National Park and Preserve, home to the highest peak in North america, but it also conceals some of the most inaccessible and mysterious mountains on the planet.

Award-winning photographer Carl Battreall has spent years photographing this remote and often inhospitable terrain. Relying on skis, boots, crampons, and the occasional bush plane, he has climbed fractured glaciers, forded icy rivers, and traversed miles of soggy tundra to create dazzling and inspiring images. His love for alpine environments and glaciated landscapes shines through in this groundbreaking volume about one of our last truly wild mountain ranges.
