Travels in Alaska

Více o knize

The narrative captures John Muir's profound fascination with Alaska's glaciers, which he studied to validate his theories on glacial action. His numerous visits to this breathtaking landscape culminated in a book written during the final months of his life, drawing from over thirty years of observations. The work reflects his dedication, despite interruptions from his campaign to protect Hetch-Hetchy Valley and his declining health. Muir's legacy is intertwined with the glaciers, notably one named in his honor.
