“The Alaska Glacier Dictionary gives A-Z references to 700 named glaciers in Alaska. It serves as a handy reference for travelers and armchair adventurers alike. The Last Frontier has waited a long time to receive this first-ever dictionary in book form, detailing glaciers in one volume for quick alphabetical reference. A great contribution to Alaska guidebooks and a dramatic read, given the present state of glacial melt. I sat down with it and didn’t get back up again for hours.” - Natasha Omoff, Alaska Travel Guide
