Alaska: A Photographic Excursion - 2nd Edition

Mark Kelley has beautifully updated his best-selling photo book with eighty new images, including the favorite image "Sneaky Bear", and a new chapter featuring the Aurora Borealis. 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 Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, 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 seventh printing with over 100,000 copies sold! With eighty new images the 2024 hard cover is a most current reflection of all Alaska has to offer. 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, author quote from Alaska: A Photographic Excursion. Read more
