Description

Alaska, known as the Last Frontier for good reason, is a very special a part of the USA. Physically seperated from the lower 48 states, its northern latitudes, pastel light, Native Americans, loss of roads, and miles of wilderness give it a unique and magical quality. The landscape is dominated by mountain ranges, tundra plains, rain forests, glaciers, and an abundance of flora and fauna – from moose, caribou, and grizzly bears to eagles and snowy owls. Alaska is a land of superlatives.

Professional photographer Fred Hirschmann, a long-time resident of Alaska, has captured the essence of this grand state through his cameras’ lenses. See Denali, the highest mountain in North The usa; Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city with a population of more than 260 thousand; Mendenhall Glacier; totem poles and ice fishing; dog sledding and subsistence whaling.

Author Suzan Nightingale’s intimate take a look at Alaska gives a close-up view of life within the 49th state. Through the eyes of Natives, long-time residents, and newcomers – individuals who live within the cities, on Alaska’s Southeast Coast, in isolated villages, along the waterways, within the Aleutian Islands – Nightingale’s writing shows the diversity of lifestyles, landscapes, and peoples that make up Alaska.

A sensitive combination of Hirschmann’s powerful images and Nightingale’s evocative words portray our largest and most unique state in a way never seen before. That is “”Alaska.””
