The book’s twenty-three essays and ninety-nine color photographs—collected here for the first time—show a passion for journeys with an unparalleled view into adventuring in the North. As a companion volume to his popular In the Shadow of Denali, the 239-page, 8x10 Northern Exposures ups the ante with extended narrative and generous full-color imagery, elucidating Waterman’s journalist career, from ducking avalanches near the Gulf of Alaska to following aerial wolf poachers around the Interior or kayaking across the Arctic.
Waterman’s life’s work has an eloquence that opens our hearts and minds to why northern latitudes matter to all of us.James Balog, Chasing Ice filmmaker and photographer
