Our Dear Readers,
On the request of many, Three Wolves will add to what it sends you — photos. It will also send any photos of yours that you want to send out. It will come from this photo address. The mission to encourage travel physically, if possible, if not virtual.
Travel gives the traveler a different point of view about the destination and about himself as he learns about the other.
Alaska was purchased from the Russians in the early 1800s for seven or so million US dollars. The Russians were at war and they needed the money. Alaska was a cost center.
The native name was “Aleyeska”, meaning “near the mainland” and maybe some other opinions of the origin. Alaska is a series of ice fields that feed into glaciers that are rivers of ice and build up at the top and push packed ice down towards the sea and bring with them all kinds of minerals, mud, and rocks into the ocean that results in feed for all kinds of wildlife — tidewater glaciers. It spans the size of Texas, California, and a couple of states more. Anchorage is a 4-hour flight from Seattle.
Some icefields like Harfield feed multiple glaciers that are kilometers deep and very long. Some glaciers do not end up in the sea — rock glaciers.
Enjoy!
