Review
Alaska's Glacier Bay: A Traveller's Guide surveys the 3. 3 million glorious acres of icy wilderness that form Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve with its more than 200 bird species, black and brown bears, seals, humpback wales, and the Tatshenshini river. This handy take-along guide features discussion of the compelling geology of the region; the natural history of the local mammals, birds, and plants; distinctive color photos and a map; background on the Tlingit heritage and John Muir's legacy; and useful access tips from an expert wilderness guide. No trip to Alaska would be complete without a tour of Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve with Karen Jettmar's indispensable pocket guide in hand. -- Midwest Book Review
