Offers an amazing look Alaska's whales

Alaska Whales And Whaling: Volume 5, Number 4 is a very special reprint of a periodical first published in 1978 and which offers an amazing look Alaska's whales and the tradition and industry of hunting these great beasts. Stunning full-color photography combines with an intensely detailed text covering shore-based whaling, as well as traditional and modern ocean whaling among Alaska's Native American population. Alaska Whales And Whaling is enthusiastically recommended as a dazzling, impressive, and information-packed 144-page presentation and history.
