Program Description

Event Details

Join us to discuss Tip of the Iceberg: My 3,000-Mile Journey Around Wild Alaska, the Last Great American Frontier by Mark Adams.

Mark Adams sets out to retrace the historic 1899 Harriman Expedition. Using the state's intricate public ferry system, the Alaska Marine Highway System, Adams travels three thousand miles, following north through Wrangell, Juneau, and Glacier Bay, then continuing west into the colder and stranger regions of the Aleutians and the Arctic Circle. Along the way, he encounters dozens of unusual characters (and a couple of very hungry bears) and investigates how lessons learned in 1899 might relate to Alaska's current struggles.
