Description
The Western Arctic: Adventures in AlaskaDebbie S. Miller
Naturalist, Adventure Writer
Tuesday, March 13th at 7:00pm
Debbie S. Miller, naturalist and author of Midnight Wilderness: Journeys in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, will share her experiences hiking and canoeing more than 600 miles through the largely unknown western Arctic. For the past three years Miller has explored the 23-million acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, the largest block of public land remaining in America. With a team of photographers, Miller studied the wildlife, wilderness, cultural and fossil history, including the largest bed of arctic dinosaur bones in the world. This presentation will offer a sneak preview for the forthcoming book On Arctic Ground, the first book to describe the Reserve's special areas and future planning for this remote corner of Alaska. Book signing to follow.
