One
for Ten Cabin Fever in Haines
Alaska
by: Adam Longnecker
Mountains, massive piles of rock
and earth shaped by glaciers,
erosion, and weather; can conjure
feelings of awe, enlightenment
and fear in people. For millions
of years weather systems have
shed soft crystals of snow on
these massive peaks, and now we
stand as mere specs in the history
of these giants, aloft on their
high ridgelines. As we descend
a sensation secretes from our
brains pulsing throughout our
bodies as adrenaline, sculpting
our passion to return to the top
of these towering peaks over and
over again... |
Going
it Alone: The Waterfall at Mendenhall
Glacier, Alaska
by: Theresa Gabriel
I stood at the observation point
on the balcony at the Visitor
Center overlooking the great Mendenhall
Glacier at Juneau, Alaska. Before
me was a beautiful scene. The
glacier reflected in the large
lake. Ooh, ahh. Both to the left
and right were mountains. It was
a beautiful clear day. I watched
the people too, walking around
taking photos, and looking at
the scenery before us and at the
displays in the center, just a
few feet away... |
