Fishing brown bear in Alaska, photo taken in backlight

This brown bear is trying to catch a salmon in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Photo take during a tour on Crescent Lake. No wild life has been disturbed while taking this picture, all taken with telezoom.

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a land of stunning beauty. Volcanoes steam, salmon run, bears forage, and craggy mountains reflect in shimmering turquoise lakes. Here, too, local people and culture still depend on the land and water. Venture into the park to become part of the wilderness.
