Grandeur on an Alaskan scale: From the 18,008 foot peak of Mount St. Elias (the second highest in North America) to a glacier the size of Delaware, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve protects more than 13 million acres of mountains, tundra, forests, and ice fields--and solitude. This collection of aerial images shows the majesty of a wild landscape few people ever see for themselves.
