Iliuk Arm of Naknek Lake looking toward the mouths of Ukak and Savonoski Rivers Katmai National Park and Preserve

"Detail, perception, and sensitivity of whole surroundings. The combination of these qualities lives in Ketchum's work. And behind the exceptional work is a deeply committed and talented man."

This majestic photograph by a modern master of the color landscape photograph of the Iliuk arm of Naknek Lake presents one of Alaska's enduring natural wonders, in all its beauty, but reflecting also the short-sighted environmental damage inflicted on such places by industry and the federal government.
