Beschreibung

Join John Muir on his remarkable journey to Alaska in 1879, where the awe-inspiring living glaciers ignited his passion for exploration and science. These majestic ice formations served as a vital backdrop for Muir to validate his groundbreaking theories on glacial action. He returned time and again to this breathtaking laboratory of landscapes, ultimately dedicating the final months of his life to crafting his reflections on these travels. The most famous tide-water glacier now proudly bears his name, a testament to his enduring legacy. (Summary by William Frederic Bade)
