Dramatic natural forces have always dominated Lituya Bay: immense storms, powerful earthquakes, huge landslides and giant waves. Among those who have visited the bay an inordinate amount of tragedy has struck. An environmental writer for the Los Angeles Times and western editor of Audubon magazine, Fradkin recounts the history of the compellingly beautiful and deadly bay and shares his own eerie experiences there.
