Discovering Alaska: The Ultimate Last Frontier

Stephanie Cherry012 mins
Covered in impenetrable forests and lined with craggy coastlines, Alaska has achieved almost a mythic status as the Last Frontier – a land of hardy explorers and off-the-grid adventurers, raw wilderness, and crevasse-cut glaciers. However, how easy is it to get a sense of the call of the wild that draws many people to this state? To find out, I followed in the footsteps of the American artist Rockwell Kent, whose urge to explore led him to live in a cabin on a barely inhabited island off the coast of Alaska, 100 years ago.

The Silk Road is renowned as one of the world’s earliest trade routes, facilitating the exchange of goods between China and Europe, via Central Asia.
