Autumn in Alaska
Alaska in autumn is a soul-stirring spectacle that awakens your senses. The vast and glorious wilderness, the luscious, luxuriant flora aflame in fiery colours are a feast for the eyes and make your worries drift away like the autumn leaves. Invigorated by the fresh Alaskan winds, the author, on a 32,000km Pangea One World Expedition from the Arctic to Antarctic, traverses the length and breadth of Alaska's interiors. Starting from Prudoe Bay, on the Arctic Ocean, he heads south on Dalton Highway, Alaska's exciting Ice Road, across the Brooks Range, descending to the Arctic Circle. From Fairbanks, he boards the Denali Star for the spectacular journey to Denali National Park that was full of energy during the rutting season. Crossing the breadth of Alaska, he takes, in bad weather, a ferry from Homer, through the Gulf of Alaska and its many inlets, for the five-day sail to Bellingham in Washington State. Captivating stories of pre-historic migrants, explorers, hunters, gold-seekers and mushers tickle your funny bone. Sit back, laugh and absorb the views.
