Bradford Washburn, The Great Gorge of Ruth Glacier & Mt. McKinley, 1937

The majestic exhibit of Bradford Washburn’s black-and-white Alaska landscape photographs is back by popular demand. Washburn was recognized as an expert on Alaska’s mountains and glaciers, a brilliant photographer and America’s leading field cartographer. He made more than 50 trips to Alaska in a remarkable career that spanned seven decades. Many of his earliest photographs were created as Washburn hung partly out of an airplane, tethered by straps and buffeted by the winds as he directed the pilot while aiming his camera.
