Just returned from four days in Anchorage at the AWRA climate change and water resources conference. Great conference!
I had not been to Alaska since 1986, and had not spent much time in Anchorage. I did remember enough to sit in a window seat on the right side of the plane en route from Seattle on Alaska Airlines #99. I managed to snap a few pictures with my iPhone.
I thought I had a great picture of Malaspina Glacier but I guess it did not work out. Here's a picture taken from space.
Here's a volcanic cone island off the southeastern Alaska coast.
And here's a glacier about an hour out of Anchorage somewhere in the Wrangell - St. Elias National Park & Preserve:
And this last shot - the Chugach Mountains, just a few minutes outside Anchorage:
Amazing place!
"To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world." --John Muir
