Alaska

A visual exploration of Alaska's mountains, glaciers, coastline, forests, wildlife, and long-distance travel between Anchorage, Denali, Juneau, and Ketchikan.

These photos cover Anchorage, Denali, Juneau, and Ketchikan with an emphasis on scale: mountain weather, forest edges, water, wildlife, and the long distances between towns.

It is a place gallery first, not an itinerary, so the surrounding copy stays grounded in the geography and the actual visual details that image search can understand.
