Abstract

The Brooks Range, one of the most remote and least-disturbed wildernesses of North America, is immense and inaccessible enough to earn a nearly mythic reputation. Dennis Witmer’s splendid volume, Far to the North: Photographs from the Brooks Range explores the limits of the tree line that juts through the southern edge of the range, revealing northern peaks and valleys bare of vegetation and glossed over by a softening snow that can arrive at any time of the year. A magnificent glimpse at nature in its most pristine and raw form, the epic photography featured in Far to the North will be a welcome addition to the collection of any explorer or lover of the northern landscape.
