Customer Reviews

Nice photo book

I purchased this book as a primer for a trip to Alaska that ended up getting postponed but I still consider it money well spent. There is a small amount of information and history but the star of the show is a fine collection of color photographs. Glaciers, wildlife, and plants/flowers are all depicted here in very high quality photos. Each time I turned the page, I was struck by the beauty of what I saw next. The only criticism of the book is that it's awfully small. Less than 100 pages and its dimensions are quite small as well. This means that the photos are not presented to best advantage because they are so small (though they still look quite good) and they could have included a bit of information about the animals and others sights depicted so beautifully. Still, I would highly recommend the book if you're at all interested in getting an idea of what Glacier Bay has to offer.
