North Through Paradise

The Inside Passage of Alaska is kayak country. Travel along with author and adventurer, Michael Modzelewski, as he guides you on a thrilling journey through the scenic waterway, fishing for king salmon, camping on wilderness islands, and surviving a grizzly bear attack. Paddle on into Tracy Arm Fjord, one of the most spectacular wild places on the planet, as you encounter inquisitive sea otters, angelic arctic terns, gamboling mountain goats on the high cliffs, and bull moose with a big problem up a side valley--while a glacier, the icy sculptor of this land thunders and booms, calving sapphire blue icebergs into the water around you. In quest of transient orcas, like the author, you just might find the way to your true home. Written with gentle wisdom and great compassion for the northern land and sea, and illustrated with superb drawings by award-winning Alaskan artist Tisket, Seslar, North Through Paradise is a book to slowly savor and treasure forever.
