Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the late 1800s, John Muir made several trips to the pristine, relatively unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales.

Over a period of three years, Thoreau made three trips to the largely unexplored woods of Maine.
