Stillwater Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Enjoying the summer in Alaska, I chartered an amphibian plane and took off from PAKT to the southeast... ... passing Herring Bay Cannery... ... towards Nina´s Landing. If you come there at the right time, you will see an Orca hunting there. A welcomed challenge for climbers: The Alaskan island called New Eddystone Rock is a pillar of basalt. The basalt came from fractures in the floor of Behm Canal in the last 5 million years. The broken, haphazard texture of these basalts indicates that New Eddystone Rock was part of a volcanic vent where magma rose repeatedly to the surface of the earth. Heading north, and over the mountains to the west: Spotted River: After passing Shrimp bay, heading northeast to Bell Island... ... and upwards Unuk River: Lava Forks Park Area. Hey, didn´t I book a summer tour? Heavy crosswind going northwest towards Eagle Bay. Actually I am flying along the valley, which seems to be right of the 185...: OK, getting out of the mountains... ... and relaxing over the sea again, near Whaletail Camp. From there it was just an easy hop back south to PAKT. Thanks for following! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
