Alaska: Spirit of the Wild: In the vast reaches of Alaska, the last great Ice Age still endures, and its grandeur is captured in this amazing DVD. Originally presented in IMAX theaters, this documentary, narrated by Charlton Heston, has been digitally remastered for home viewing.

There are few places on earth that impose greater survival challenges than Alaska and this conflict between climate and life is the central theme of the film. Despite harsh conditions, life in Alaska always finds a way to endure.

This film is about the majesty and uniqueness of wild Alaska, and about the resiliency of life itself. Alaska: Spirit of the Wild is the ultimate story of survival, where life triumphs season after season against fierce conditions and challenges.

The spirit of the great wild north is captured with extensive film footage of Alaska's rugged landscape and wild animals. Journey through a land of Arctic ice, witness the calving of glaciers, and soar over the snow-mantled peaks of Mt. McKinley.

Filmed in their native environments, moose, bear, salmon and sea lions are portrayed with wondrous photography. You'll glide with bald eagles, race in a thundering stampede of caribou, cross the ice with polar bears and witness the stealthy, deadly hunt of the wolf pack. The whole family will love this breathtaking journey exploring the beauty and splendor of the Alaskan wilderness.
