Description

With Wood-Tikchik: Alaska’s Largest State Park, Robert Glenn Ketchum continues his exploration of Alaska, now specializing in some of the significant watersheds on the planet. The Wood-Tikchik State Park, a vast wilderness, is home to moose, grizzly bears, eagles, salmon and probably the most largest species of rainbow trout on the planet. Accessible only by boat, plane, or on foot, these wild lands are however vulnerable to commercial exploitation. Ketchum’s stunning images immerse viewers in the peculiar detail, color and scale that defines this fairly unknown world of tundra and boreal forests, offering readers the unique experience of understanding the want to preserve this special ecosystem. In his accompanying essay, Bill Sherwonit provides an excellent account of the historical use of the park and makes a compelling case for protecting one of North The usa’s most important watersheds from fragmentation and unnecessary development. “For several decades, Ketchum has followed the trail of Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, specializing in threatened areas of our planet… The peculiar details–the glide of colors, the depth, the multitude of textures–awaken the viewer to the fragile foundations of the grandest landscape: the mind.”
