En savoir plus sur le livre
Whether you live in Alaska or are just passing through, you'll discover a gold mine of nature nuggets in The Great Alaska Nature Factbook. Take an armchair tour through the book's three sections-animals, plants, and natural features-and meet awesome brown bears and iceworms, smell the spicy wild roses, and feel a brisk williwaw wind. Through engaging text and illustrations, The Great Alaska Nature Factbook reveals the North Country's natural wonders: One acre of tundra can contain an estimated two tons of living fungi. Fourteen species of wild orchid grow in Alaska. Denali National Park and Preserve was once-upon-a-time a tropical forest. Female bears give birth to their cubs during hibernation, waking up just long enough to chew the umbilical cord and lick the babies. Loons can sink straight down in the water like submarines. The Bering Glacier complex in the Chugach Mountains is twice the size of Rhode Island. Alaska hosts over 100 million seabirds every summer.
