Take a journey to a place where nature enchants the eye with magnificent scenery—and where life triumphs season after season over fierce conditions and overwhelming challenges.

As Alaska's rhythms shift from harsh winter to gloriously intense summer, all its inhabitants—fish, bird, and mammal alike—partake feverishly of the seasonal abundance while it lasts. Grizzlies fish for up to 20 hours a day; moose graze pond bottoms; salmon struggle upstream to spawn; humpbacks, orcas, and blue whales feed on rich supplies of plankton, fish, and sea lions. Witness it all, savoring the persistent pulse of life that animates a land rich in history, spectacle, and beauty.
