During a two year "honeymoon" in Alaska, Polly and her husband Lee learned about mountains, avalanches, glaciers, flying small aircraft, abysmal weather, volcanoes, cliffs, oceans, and wildlife. Each adventure is a building block to surviving the next journey. While Lee chooses, plans, arranges, cooks, and protects Polly on every exploit, she must physically hike, bike, or kayak each trip––and then write about them.
