Redesigned with NEW cover! "Whales!" comes a cry, and its show time on the wild waters of Alaska. A spurt like a sprinkler's shoots out of the water, then turns to mist and hangs just above the chilly Alaskan sea. In these waters, two of the world's great wildlife performers star in a wilderness ballet. Nowhere else can on get such a great look at humpbacks, the most active of the great whales, cavorting on the surface and catching air as they feed. Tuxedo-clad orcas or killer whales dazzle with drill-team precision and racetrack speed. With the photos in this book, Mark Kelley and John Hyde take you to see Alaska's watchable whales on nature's stage. The accurate and up-to-date text tells the story behind the scenes, and the eight whale tales of true life adventures from the Alaskan wild whale waters make for unbelievable and fun reading. Photos by Mark Kelley and John Hyde. Text by Linda Daniel. Whale Tale interviews by Scott Foster. Forward by Lynn Schooner.

"Tracy Arm: a rather ordinary name for an extra-ordinary place, arguably one of the most spectacular glacial fjords in both Alaska and the world. Glacier Bay National Park, roughly 125 miles to the northwest, is far better known, and Misty Fjords, near Ketchikan, is duly celebrated. But Tracy Arm, 32 miles long and averaging a mile wide, surrounded by steep mountain walls rising up to 7,000 feet from sea level, surrenders nothing in grandeur or vertical scale to any of these treasures. In fact, it gains its visual power from the fact that so much is crammed into such a compact space. It is, in its own right, the sort of place that's worth traveling halfway around the world to see, a landscape that reminds us, residents and travelers alike, of why we came to Alaska."

Mendenhall Glacier's Steep Creek offers casual viewers and experienced naturalists alike the opportunity to safely observe and photograph black bears at close range as they feed and interact in a pristine setting, yards from a parking lot. The viewing area's rules are characterized by an unusual list of no's - no reservations required, no fees, no special equipment or guides or experience needed. What few restrictions exist protect the safety and well-being of bears and watchers alike. John Neary, a wilderness field manager for the US Forest Service who has helped shape Steep Creek's management plan, says the incredible accessibility lends a Disney-like aura. It's difficult for visitors to remember that these are actual wild bears.
