Alaska 



$4,885 

 July 2-16 



Experience the Great Land. Descriptions of Alaska are filled 

 with superlatives — a state more than twice the size of Texas 

 with a population less than that of Denver, 33,000 miles of 

 coastline, 119 million acres of forest, 14 of the highest peaks in 

 the United States culminating in Mt. Denali (formerly Mt. 

 McKinley), at 20,320 feet. 



Our travels will be by plane, train, bus, boat, and foot — 

 whatever best enhances our experience. Emphasis will be on 

 the land, its history, its wildlife. Interpretation combined with 

 direct observation will provide an enjoyment and quality of 

 experience unavailable to the casual visitor. Whatever your 

 interest in natural history — marine mammals, birding, moun- 

 tains, photography, flowers, forests, glaciers, rivers — this tour 

 will show you Alaska in all its diversity and splendor. 



Dr. David Willard, manager of Field Museum's bird and 

 mammal collections, will be tour leader. He received his Ph.D. 

 in Biology at Princeton University, where he was acting cura- 

 tor of Princeton Museum of Ornithology. He has been on a 

 number of research expeditions for Field Museum.
