Detailed Product Description

1997. 128 pp, 100+ color photos. A photo and text essay on our largest and wildest park, home to 18,008' Mt St Elias, and adjacent to 19,850' Mount Logan. A superb book.

WRANGELL-ST. ELIAS, THE NATION'S largest national park, is larger than New Hampshire and Vermont combined. It encloses the country's largest glacier system-including the Malaspina, the largest piedmont glacier in North America-and the 127-mile-long Bagley Icefield. And six of North America's 10 highest mountains are within the park.After you run through the statistics, photographs become an indispensable aid in further appreciating the park. We have other books with notable photos of natural wonders in the park, but this is the most comprehensive yet.

 
Photographer and author George Herben has been fascinated by Wrangell-St. Elias for years, and no photographer knows the wilderness region as well. Herben also photographs animals and birds, as well as the few places where the work of man has intruded, such as the town of McCarthy, the splendid remains of the Kennecott copper mine, and old Chisana.Herben offers a short introduction to each section, enough to stimulate appreciation for his close identification with the country. Alaskans who read this book will feel something of Herben's joy. Larger hardcover with dust jacket, new condition
