This is a collection of 18 Alaska survival stories from pilots, hikers, hunters, climbers, boaters, and fishermen who confront their mortality -- and live to tell about it! You will be astonished by the close calls of a young man who clings desperately to life on an iceberg in the lower Susitna River . . . a woman who struggles frantically to escape the cockpit of a small plane as it sinks below the frigid waters of a remote bay in the Southeast region . . . the mountaineers who fight stubbornly to survive as avalanche after avalanche sweeps over them . . . and the saltwater diver who tangles with a giant octopus.
