Invited by the publisher to do this for myself, I find myself with nothing in the world to say beyond... in the manner of introducing Presidents and Kings: ‘Ladies and Gentlemen! Here are my pictures’ ” Thus begins this delightful monograph which contains excerpts from 4 of his most treasured books, “Wilderness: A Story of Quiet Adventure in Alaska”, “Voyaging: Southward from the Strait of Magellan”, “N by E,” a story of adventure at sea and of shipwreck on the coast of Greenland, and “Salamina”, a story of life in northern Greenland.
