Looking for Alaska / Peter Jenkins.

Jenkins, Peter, 1951- (Author).

Summary:

Looking for Alaska" is Jenkins' account of a year-long odyssey in America's last wilderness. From fishing expedition with some of Alaska's Native leaders to an ocean-kayaking trip in the glacier-ridden waters off the northwestern coast, Jenkins delivers a memorable diary of discovery--both of this place that captures maginations, and of himself, all over again.
