Robert Glenn Ketchum claimed In his most stunningly beautiful book to date, renowned landscape photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum turns his encompassing and color-rich vision to the vast habitat and fisheries resources of southwest Alaska and Bristol Bay. With his artist´s eye for color, texture, and extraordinary detail, Ketchum´s large and powerful images capture the immense richness of this magnificently wild country.Framed between some of Alaska´s most spectacular mountain ranges and the northern Pacific, here lies the spawning ground of the world´s largest population of sockeye salmon. It is also one of the last productive wild fisheries remaining on earth, providing bountiful harvests for a host of dependent creatures—from whales to grizzlies to fishermen.Co-author Bruce Hampton provides an engaging and comprehensive essay on the life history of sockeye salmon, the region´s commercial and sport fisheries, and their crucial importance to the region´s environment and the people who depend on salmon for survival. Greg Syverson’s intimate photographs of fish and their aquatic habitat further illuminate the text.
