BIRTHPLACE OF THE WINDS: Adventuring in Alaska's Islands of Fire and Ice
Book Description and Condition
At the heart of the Aleution archipelago, five long days into the heart of the frigid Bering Sea, lie the islands of the Four Mountains. Mythical home of the Aleut people, this isolated, storm-tossed world is a realm of snow-capped volcanoes trailing plumes of steam, whipped up by gale-force winds, or
wrapped in thick fog. Here is where the kayak was born - and it is in kayaks that Jon Bowermaster and his three companions return. A tale of life-or-death adventure and authentic exploration. This story pits four men and two boats against some of the world's most forbidding weather. Hard cover in pictorial dust jacket. 235 x 160mm., pp.6 (preliminaries) 264, colour plates, acknowledgements. Contents, no inscriptions, one page has small corner missing; dust jacket, light creasing on edges - no tears. VG+
