Crown of the Continent - Park Film

Soar above mountains that make their own weather and glacier-carved valleys still emerging from the Ice Age, as you return with producer John Grabowska to a place of his boyhood dreams: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. With calving glaciers in hidden fjords, wildlife wandering a vast land and countless unnamed peaks, Wrangell-St. Elias fulfills the romantic, mythic image of Alaska. This single national park contains the greatest concentration of glaciers outside the polar ice caps, nine of the 16 highest peaks in the United States, the largest piedmont glaciers in the world, and the highest coastal range in the world. Explore the transformative power of a wilderness landscape with the award winning video that offers spectacular images and an original music score. Release Date: 24, March 2003 (USA).
