Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve - Pocket Guide

One of the world's premier wilderness areas, Glacier Bay is known for its large, contiguous, intact ecosystems, still dominated by natural processes. This beautifully illustrated guide, produced with the assistance of Alaska Geographic, highlights over 140 familiar and unique species of mammals, birds, fishes, seashore creatures, trees, shrubs and wildflowers and includes a regional map. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of portable information and ideal for field use by visitors and residents alike. Created in collaboration with Alaska Geographic. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this guide goes to support the important work of Alaska Geographic. Made in the USA.
