Glaciers calve like thunder, canoes thread iceberg-studded fjords, and John Muir is in his element at last. Across three journeys between 1879 and 1890, Muir explores southeastern Alaska with Tlingit guides and missionary companions, climbing over ice fields and naming what no map yet held. His prose rises to the scale of the landscape, its storms, auroras, and immense blue walls of ice, while his warmth toward his companions keeps the story human. Finished in the final months of his life, this is Muir's last great adventure. Step into the canoe and push off.
