Southwest Alaska is at a crossroads. With a growing world population comes a tremendous demand for alternative resources, and these wild lands and spectacular parks are now confronting massive development proposals that would alter them forever. Renowned outdoor photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum has trained his lens on the beauty of southwest Alaska to document the region and show the world this virtually unknown, complex and biologically diverse landscape.

We have a select group of a dozen images from this exhibition to give you a glimpse of Ketchum's work. Take a look at the photo gallery, Southwest Alaska at a Crossroads, and let us know your thoughts.
The Aperture traveling exhibition -- 'Southwest Alaska: A World of Parks and Wildlife Refuges at the Crossroads - Photographs by Robert Glenn Ketchum' -- will be on display at the BP Petroleum Gallery, which is located at BP Naperville Campus, Bldg 601, 150 Warrenville Rd, Naperville, Illinois, from July 10 to Sept. 4, 2007.
