THE ICE-AGE HISTORY OF ALASKAN NATIONAL PARKS. by Scott A. Elias.
Focuses on more than 30,000 years of Alaskan prehistory to describe the geology, climate, ancient plant and animal life, plus human presence in
Denali, Kenai Fjords, Glacier Bay, and Bering Land Bridge national parks and preserves. Uncovers a time when glaciers shaped the landscape, carving cirques and leaving moraines that dammed rivers to form lakes. With fossils from this period, the landscape of the time is recreated, where bogs and steppe tundra harbored caribou, moose, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Photographs, drawings, maps, and charts, 160 pages, index.
