Images of Alaska Stock Photography from Accent Alaska Stock Photo Agency

Alaska Stock Photography and Pictures from Accent Alaska includes imagery of wildlife, locations, and lifestyles from the far reaches of Alaska.

In our library you will find imagery of American Bald Eagles soaring across the vast Alaskan skyscape or diving into its 30,000 miles of coastal waters searching for a salmon to feast upon. The Brown Grizzly Bears and Black Bears will be in competition for those same salmon and other fish, lumbering along the edges of Alaskas pristine waterways including the famous Brooks River in Katmai National Park, the Russian River Salmon fishery in Kenai Peninsula, and the Toklat River in Denali National Park - where you might just find a pack of Arctic Gray Wolf looking for a bite as well. Throughout the forests and grasses you will encounter various Moose and perhaps their Calves, grazing on the alder and willow that flourish throughout the state. Northern adventures will reveal the Porcupine Caribou Herd migrating across the coastal plains of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the Denali Barren Ground Caribou grazing within the protective wilderness of Denali National Park. Above the caribou, you can see Dall Sheep and Mountain Goats balancing delicately on the rocky cliffs and ledges of the many mountainscapes. Sea-faring explorers, whether by charter boat or sea kayak, while almost certainly come across Harbor Seals, Stellar Sea Lions, Humpback Whales or even Orca Killer Whales. These many creatures of the sea can be discovered migrating to find the abundant food sources that fill the coastal waters of Alaska. The same waters have sustained the Alaskan Crab fishing industry and other commercial fisheries for decades. Fishing vessels such as the Aleutian Ballad or the Billikin which have provided Alaskan fishermen with a job and promising income. Beluga Whales can be spotted right from the scenic Seward Highway in Turnagain Arm, which stretches from Anchorage to Seward through the Turnagain Pass. This highway rolls past the Town of Girdwood, known for its extreme skiing opportunities in the winter at the Alyeska Resort. Portage Valley in the Chugach National Forest gives travellers an excellent glimpse at the effects of global warming on receding glaciers. Off the beaten path is Hope, Summit Lake, Resurrection Trail and a plethora of recreational opportunities. If you choose to continue down the Sterling Highway, you will pass right through Cooper Landing and the famous Kenai River Salmon Fishery in the Kenai Peninsula. World class salmon fishing continues to bring visitors and anglers back every year for the excitement of landing a big chrome colored fish.

North of Denali National Park can bring visitors to Fairbanks, one of Alaska's largest cities where temperatures can reach a chilling -40 degrees in the winter along the flowing waters of the Chena and Tanana Rivers. The Alaska Railroad North-South Line will take travellers through towns such as Talkeetna, Curry, Nenana,and Cantwell en route to Fairbanks from Anchorage. The Richardson Highway will trail the Alyeska Pipeline all the way from the North Slope oil fields to the Prince William Sound gateway of Valdez. Extreme adventurers can take the haul road through the Brooks Mountains, which is home to the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Iniakuk Lake Lodge,into the Alaska tundra slopes of the Arctic and eventually reach Prudhoe Bay, but Alaska's northernmost community of Barrow is only accessible by plane or boat. Watch out for Polar Bears along the Arctic Ocean !

For the thousands of visitors that come to Alaska on a luxury cruise ship tour, most of your memories will consist of the Alaska Inside Passage, the waterway that parallels and incorporates the Panhandle areas of the Southeast. From Prince of Wales to the lumberjack community of Ketchikan, Hoonah's cannery past, Juneau's gold mining history, Sitka's Russian Roots, Skagway's Klondike Gold Rush National Park, and Haines - Alaska's Inside Passage is one of temperate rainforests and scaling mountain peaks, but also rich with Tlingit and Haida Culture and world history. Glacier Bay National Park will force you to succumb to the amazing power of nature as you take in the visage of the Fairweather Range Mountains leading in to the Wrangell St Elias National Park - which is our nation's largest National Park and known as " the Mountain Kingdom of America." The Wrangell's fold into the Chugach Range of the Southcentral, and the many tidewater glaciers of Prince William Sound (most notably, College Fjord.)

You would be hardpressed to see all of Alaska in one visit, but our library can help you remember the parts you did see by providing you with fine art prints from our library.
