The photos in the article really made me want to watch a documentary about the Alaskan wilderness, especially the tundra during summertime.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but for anyone interested in Alaska I would recommend checking Peter Santenello's Alaska series on YouTube. It's people and culture focused on everyday life. You'll get a little bit of nature, not much, still very interesting.

Look up Dick Proenneke.

I found out about him from HN:

It’s worth tracking down these videos and watching them:

Sometimes they show up on YouTube or the Internet Archive.

Nice recommendation.

My grandpa and uncle built a cabin on Twin Lakes over the summers with Dick Proenneke. I've got pictures of them together felling trees and hauling logs to build the cabins. Now, you can only get to the cabins by float plane.

The cabins have been taken over by the State Park now, and they've been restored too. One of their cabins is now the ranger station, and the other is kept as a "stuck in time" snapshot from the 50s and 60s. Pretty neat.
