Wildlife abounds on land and in the sea, ever captivating visitors who explore the passage via cruise, car ride or hike. This handy set includes two pieces: the National Geographic Adventure Travel Map, a waterproof, tear-resistant map to the region that provides detailed information on roadways, topography and points of interest; and Alaska Wildlife, a folding pocket guide that features beautiful illustrations of 140 common mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes and seashore creatures as well as an ecoregion map with top wildlife-viewing hotspots.
