My Wrangell Mountains

High atop cascading waterfalls and deep within the lush green depths of the
valleys, Swiss photographer Ruedi Homberger has for more than twenty years
captured in photographs the majestic beauty of eastern Alaska’s Wrangell
Mountains. In addition to summiting some of the Wrangells’ loftiest peaks,
Homberger has in recent years incorporated a technically challenging new
approach into his work.

Flying above the mountains in a small plane, Homberger literally goes to new
heights to reveal a series of stunning aerial views. The first book-length
collection of photographs focusing exclusively on the Wrangell-Saint Elias
National Park and Preserve, My Wrangell Mountains offers readers a rare
opportunity to “stand among the giants.” included in this magnificent
oversized volume are over three hundred full-color photographs and an
accompanying selection of sketches by award-winning illustrator Jon Van Zyle.

Homberger has spent considerable time during the past two decades climbing up,
skiing down and flying over the rugged peaks that sprawl out from the
southeastern corner of mainland Alaska and onward into Canada. Along the way,
he’s taken countless pictures, and the ones that have been gathered in this
beautifully produced volume will immediately convey to readers what draws him
repeatedly into these wild lands.
