Book Description:

Explore America’s last frontier with a cabal of experienced guides to witness the Inupiat taking of a bowhead whale, follow the seasons of commercial fisherfolk, sail the Inside Passage, and flight-see with bush pilots around Denali. The Land of the Midnight Sun has its share of surprises as well, including an entire town that lives in a single World War II vintage highrise, a hairy man who roams the bush, and backcountry gourmands who communicate with edible plants. Contributors include Tim Cahill, Jon Krakauer, Pam Houston, Joe McGinnis, Ian Frazier, David Roberts and others.
