Synopsis

Personally signed by the photographer and beautifully updated with a brand new chapter featuring the Aurora Borealis (2019, hard covers only).
A beautiful Alaska memory for those who have been here, an inspiration for those wanting to travel here, and a great journey for those who might not venture here in person. Travel through the coastal rainforest, the fishing towns, and the icefields of Alaska's Inside Passage, the glacier-carved landscape of Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords, through the major cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, and on to the crown jewel, Denali National Park. Alaska photographer Mark Kelley and author Nick Jans capture the essence of Alaska in this award-winning photo book.
Winner of a Benjamin Franklin Award. Now in its fourth printing with over 85,000 copies sold!
Alaska truly lives up to its billing as the Great Land, a landscape so vast and varied that it seems beyond the scale of human comprehension. After spending a combined six decades here, Mark and I have figured one thing out: we are never going to be able to show it all. Our offering is a mere sampler of the riches in this state, one we hope will bring you back, wanting more. All told, it is a dazzling journey. - Nick Jans, Alaska: A Photographic Excursion.

Review:

The quality of the photography is first rate, and varies from the small scale of flowers and wildlife to the grander scale of mountains, fjords, and glaciers. The book exquisitely combines beautiful photography and an informative narrative into an attractive travelogue of Alaska. --D. S. Thurlow, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer

Jans is an exceptional storyteller no nature writer can top him in terms of sheer emotional force. --The New York Times
