Cool photos. I've always been intrigued by the place, very remote and very wild.

these pictures are great. I too have always wanted to visit this area. They are supposed to have pristine rivers full of large salmon as well as a subspecies of bear as large or larger than Kodiak grizzlies. I don't know how one would go about getting there though...
