Description


Christopher McCandless

Christopher Johnson McCandless (February 12, 1968 – August 1992) was an American adventurer who adopted the alias Alexander Supertramp and hiked into the Alaskan wilderness in April 1992 with little food and equipment, hoping to live simply for a time in solitude. Almost four months later, McCandless' remains were found, weighing only 67 pounds (30 kg); he died of starvation near Lake Wentitika in Denali National Park and Preserve.
