Description:
Alaska to Nunavut showcases a diverse array of northern rivers, introducing readers to each river’s unique beauty and highlights - its landscape, flora and fauna. More than 80 stunning colour photographs portray the rivers as treasure troves of ecological beauty and opportunities for adventure.

The rivers are a string of jewels across the top of the continent that are a "life list" of eco/adventure destinations for eco-travelers and armchair adventurers alike. The North has captivated those with a craving for alluring images of exotic wildlife, flora, scenery and activity. Alaska to Nunavut features attractive maps and insights into the unique attributes, history, ecology and First Nations culture of the regions discussed. The book also harks back to the days predating the Gold Rush and details the role northern rivers played in the rush to riches.
