Grand in scale and vast in terrain, Alaska's beauty is unparalleled. From its fjords to national parks, its native cultures to the Northern Lights, Alaska is America's playground. In this 53-minute picture-postcard documentary, see the birthplace of the Iditarod, the "last great race" of the last frontier; hear the crackle and booms of glaciers giving birth to icebergs. Alaska: The Last Frontier captures the spectacle of Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, nature's own light show. The array of wildlife and marine life from grizzly bears to Orca whales illustrate the purity of the land, from the North Pole to the capital of Juneau, and, despite gold rushes and oil booms, what remains is unscathed by modern industry and technology.
