- Summary:
- Readers can explore America's last frontier with a cabal of experienced guides: witness the Input 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, hairy man who roams the bush, and backcountry gourmands who communicate with edible plants.
