Jonathan Waterman

Excerpted from Jon’s website:

“Jon found his calling as a writer while shooting photographs on expeditions more than four decades ago. Drawn to the physical challenge and peace he felt in the natural world, he continually fell short explaining this allure to others. The necessity of being fully present in the outdoors to witness beauty, and then to preserve the natural world, became essential to Jon.  So, he turned to writing to explain both adventure and conservation.

He has also shot and written television films, including “The Logan Challenge,” “Surviving Denali,” “Odyssey Among the Inuit,” “ANWR Trek,” and “Chasing Water.”

Jon is mostly known for his Northern explorations, detailed in many of his books and countless journals since 1978.  Beginning in 2007, the rivers of the Southwest began to call, with an extended journey and National Geographic Society research projects.”

His books include” Into the Thaw, Atlas of Wild America, Atlas of National Parks, Chasing Denali, In the Shadow of Denali, Running Dry, Arctic Crossing, Where Mountains are Nameless, and The Colorado River.
