Birthplace of the Winds: Adventuring in Alaska's Islands of Fire and Ice
by Jon Bowermaster

National Geographic Adventure Press presents trade paper editions of four rare and extraordinary expedition accounts from writers who embody the spirit of adventure and discovery for which National Geographic is renowned. The word "adventure" is virtually synonymous with the National Geographic Society, and these four riveting accounts of high adventure further blur any distinction. Birthplace of the Wind is Jon Bowermaster's riveting chronicle of his kayaking and mountaineering expedition to one of the loneliest, inhospitable, and wildly beautiful spots on Earth -- the volcanic peaks of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. As exciting as writing gets, National Geographic Adventure Press takes readers to the ends of the Earth -- and to the limits of human experience.
