Tip of the Iceberg: My 3,000-Mile Journey Around Wild Alaska, the Last Great American Frontier
In Tip of the Iceberg, author Mark Adams retraces a historic 1899 voyage, operated by Edward H. Harriman, who turned a steamship into a “floating university” that hosted a group of scientists and writers. The group journeyed along the coast, visiting Juneau and the Glacier Bay before venturing up to the Arctic Circle, and Adams attempts to follow in their nautical footsteps. Adams’ “storytelling is guaranteed to make you want to get off your beach towel and book passage somewhere in the great wild north,” writes Outside magazine.
