Alaska

Visitors to Alaska enjoy some of the most spectacular and unspoilt scenery in the world. Alaska contains around 90 per cent of the USA's National Park lands, encompassing the beautiful mountains and glacier fields and home to seals and rare birds. Visitors are drawn by the wild history of the region, the thrill of the gold rush and the native villages that keep old traditions alive. Smart, fun and packed with full-colour photos, "The Compass American Guide to Alaska" is a celebration of the landscape, people and culture of Alaska, and an insider's guide to the essential places to visit.
