Christopher McCandless
He had an insatiable appetite for knowledge about the world, and he wanted to discover what it was all about. McCandless is most recognized as an adventurer when he decided to go into the Alaskan wilderness alone. He intended to get to know nature and subsist entirely on natural resources.
This is one of the last known photographs of McCandless. During the days ahead, he would discover an abandoned van to take refuge in. He kept a diary that was later published and inspired millions. The diaries were even utilized as source material for the film “Into The Wild,” about McCandless’ journey. McCandless starved to death due to hunger.
