\nFeaturing a Mountain Profile of Mt. Kennedy, Mt. Hubbard and Mt. Alverstone by
\nDavid Stevenson. Forming part of the boundary between Alaska and the Yukon,
\nthe St. Elias Range can seem both \u201cremote\u201d and nearly \u201cempty,\u201d as Stevenson
\nwrites. But these expanses of mountains, ice, rock and snows are layered with
\nstories of human journeys, from the landscape tales of Indigenous Tlingit
\npeople to the adventures of generations of famous climbers\u2014including a first

Mountain Profile: Mt. Hubbard, Mt. Alverstone and Mt. Kennedy
\nAt first glance, author David Stevenson writes, parts of the St. Elias Range
\nof Alaska can seem both «remote» and nearly «empty.» But these expanses of
\nmountains, ice, rock and snows are layered with stories of human journeys,
\nfrom the landscape tales of Indigenous Tlingit people to the adventures of
\ngenerations of famous climbers\u2014including a first ascent by the senator Robert
\nF. Kennedy, a few years before his assassination. And in the modern era, like
\nmany glaciated regions, the range has become one symbol of a growing climate
\ncrisis. For this Mountain Profile, Stevenson focuses on stories surrounding
\nthe region inside the 1968 Hubbard-Alverstone-Kennedy map directed by the
\ngreat explorer Bradford Washburn. Anna Chiburis, Andrea Rankin, Jack Tackle
\nand Barry Blanchard share moments from the vast history of this intense and
\nhaunting place. <\/p>\n
The Shadow’s Edge
\nAfter recovering from a severe childhood illness, Claire Giordano grew up to
\nbecome a mountaineer and an artist, using her climbs and her paints to explore
\nthe fragility of both wild landscapes and human life. With this collection of
\nmountain watercolors, she searches for hope in an era of melting ice,
\nendangered glaciers and climate crises. «We walk the line between shadow and
\nlight,» she writes, «and we slowly move forward.» <\/p>\n
The Rhythm of the Mountains
\nOn March 21, 2019, Jim Reynolds became the first person to free solo both up
\nand down Fitz Roy, a 3405-meter spire in Patagonia. In this story, Reynolds
\nrecounts the inner experience of the journey\u2014an effort to move according to
\nthe cadence of a wild peak and to return home safely to his beloved community,
\nfamily and friends. <\/p>\n
