Adventures in Svalbard.

Alaska has seen more than 500 forest fires since the beginning of April, which have forced the evacuation of mining camps, villages and remote cabins.

As the only Republican senator fighting for her seat less than two years after voting to convict Donald Trump, Lisa Murkowski could be one of the crowning casualties in his war to rid the party of dissenters.

Fifty years after it inspired Hunter S. Thompson’s classic novel, the Mint 400 remains the great American desert race. GQ’s intrepid correspondent set out to conquer the course in a vintage Volkswagen Beetle—and search for nirvana on the far side of bone-crushing misery.

For a moment the sun emerges, and the twin shadows of Kevin Mulligan’s aircraft floats take shape on the glacier below. “Oh man,” he groans into the headphones of his Cessna 206, looking down at Baranof Island. “I gotta cross over before I die.”

An American family living in Siberia for a year goes on an adventure, dismissing concerns about bubonic plague and missing “Game of Thrones”.

President Trump’s decision to direct his agriculture secretary to explore opening America’s largest national forest to logging comes as no surprise, considering that Friedrich Trump, the president’s grandfather, made his original fortune amid the Alaska gold rush.

It’s winter king salmon season now in Sitka, trollers prowling the fishing boundary as chinook fatten up on needlefish, herring and krill, in preparation for their spring journeys home to their native streams.

The Trump administration has announced it is considering a proposal to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Arctic national wildlife refuge, the largest such preserve in the US.

Alaska salmon fisherfolk have been giving up a disproportionate portion of their harvest — over 50 percent, at least — to rebuild damaged stocks elsewhere.

The other day in the grocery store, while my daughter Haley eyed the gumball machine by the doors, a headline in the Daily Sitka Sentinel caught my eye: "Search for Missing Boater Suspended," or something like that.

Tongass is the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest, with trees more than 1,000 years old. But a pro-logging effort could uproot them.

Corporate gold diggers pan for profit where millions of salmon spawn.

A few weeks ago, I began receiving satellite text messages from Eric Jordan aboard the troller IGotta, with detailed reports on daily chum poundages. Could I break free from obligations in Sitka and fly down to deckhand for a bit, catch some fish?

It is almost winter again here. The days shorten and the furrows of the volcano that looms over our town steadily fill with snow.

A glacier expedition across Baranof Island leads to a sad discovery.

As a cuke deckhand, your job first and foremost consists of making sure your diver survives.

Flakes falling like wet socks from the skies, coating alder branches and truck hoods and boat anchors. Dumps followed by the cold right hook of a sunny day, clack of snow shovel scraping gravel.

One of the benefits of living in Alaska is that the rest of the country tends to forget about you. The frozen north, may they remain happy while gnawing on whale.

There is no clear line between the mood in town and the mood on the fishing grounds here. Here in the Earth's largest temperate rainforest, in the sun-shadow along the outside coast of Baranof Island, seasons are determined by salmon runs and the kind of fishing boats at work.
