Jon Krakauer was born in 1954, and he grew up in Corvallis, Oregon. He is a lot like the character in Into The Wild because they both traveled alone in Alaska. Krakauer was interested in mountaineering. He reached the top of Mt. Everest in 1996. During a storm, four out of five of his teammates died. He wrote a book about his journey called Into Thin Air. He has many adventurous articles and stories that are bestsellers.
