Clouds scrape by the snow-covered Iliamna Volcano, which last erupted before Europeans settled in the area. (p. 98) | The wilderness of Chikuminuk Lake and Wood-Tikchik State Park displays an untouched nature that has mostly vanished from the lower 48 states. (p. 100) | Corporate interests have proposed a massive mining operation to unearth the rich deposits of gold, copper, and molybdenum under the land in this region. (p. 150) | "We love our fish," says Ina Bouker, a Yupik and teacher from Dillingham who opposes the mine. "The salmon always run. But if their habitat is destroyed, they will not come back." (p. 144) |
The eerily majestic northern lights, or aurora borealis, blaze above Twelvemile Summit on the Steese Highway. (p. 76) | Commercial fishermen pull in a drift gill net at dusk on Bristol Bay. In an average year more than 40 million salmon travel through the bay to their spawning grounds. (p. 122) | Although brown bears are normally solitary creatures, they congregate at places like Brooks Falls in the summer to catch and eat spawning salmon. (p. 127) | A male salmon rests on his long voyage back to the waters of his birth. These migrating salmon die shortly after breeding. (p. 129) |
