Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari

Denali National Park's wilderness has long drawn thousands of tourists, most riding crowded buses along the park road. Over time, wildlife began avoiding these busy areas.

Watch our video to see why wildlife is returning to the Denali Backcountry.

Alaska’s glaciers are breathtaking—and vital. These slow-moving rivers of ice shape landscapes, store freshwater and help stabilize our planet’s climate. But Alaska’s glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate, raising sea levels and threatening wildlife and nearby communities. Ultimate Alaska Expedition Leader Laura Geissinger explains how glaciers form and why they’re essential to life on Earth. She also reveals what their retreat tells us about a warming world and how the choices we make today can help protect Alaska’s frozen frontiers for the future.
