On Wednesday(1-25-2012), Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) ran a feature on Admiralty Island called "Fortress of the Bears" on "Nature". Check out "Nature" online to see the program. In support of this programming, I plan to post four weeks of brown bears images (third installment). These brown bears look like they are fighting, but in reality they are playing. When bears fight, the sounds can be very loud and extremely menacing. These two juvenile bears (two and three-year-olds) were ...

Cover of the Juneau Vacation Planner, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2758

I have been lucky lately with a lot of really fun publications including publications in Patagonia and the cover of the State of Alaska Vacation Planner.

Within this Rhode Island-sized ice mass ...

Weather permitting, the supplies were brought in by ...
