In Australia, just like in Alaska, the landscape is harsh and unforgiving. Whilst Alaska and Australia might seem like two opposites I found some similarities with the way people treat the land.
I often dream about moving somewhere close to the equator and just staying there, nice and warm all year round. If I never had to see winter again I would not worry.
Why do you need snow when you have beaches and endless golden sun? The truth is that I am not a winter person. My parents had no interest in going anywhere cold. Cold on the other hand was a different story. Well, the heat was too, but we knew how to deal with that. I’m sure to anyone born where it is cold enough to snow it might seem strange that I had to learn these things as an adult, but it is true. I still remember realising that snow can be wet, soft, hard, and slippery. I did not see snow until I was 20 and I had no clue what to expect. As an Australian, it is hard to imagine the cold that is experienced in places like Alaska and Northern Sweden and Finland. Mountains in the background.Īs Winter slowly but surely approaches the Northern Hemisphere, I felt that a book on Alaska would help me get into the mood of all things cold and frosty.
