He provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and weather conditions he encounters along the way. The Glaciers section is dedicated to Burroughs' observations and reflections on the glaciers of Alaska. He discusses their formation, movement, and the impact they have on the environment.

He describes their customs, traditions, and way of life, as well as their relationship with the natural world around them. He also reflects on the impact of Western civilization on these indigenous communities.
