Geography Of Petersburg, Alaska
Geography of Petersburg, Alaska Southeast Alaska,Frederick Sound,mountains,fjords,glaciers. Mountains and Islands. The Geography of Petersburg, Alaska.
http://www.petersburg.org/visitors/geog.html

Extractions: Petersburg is the only population center on Mitkof island, located appx. 100 miles south of Juneau and 100 miles north of Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska (the area is locally referred to as "Southeast"). It is a smaller island located in the middle of the Alexander Archipelago. Mitkof Island is mountainous and heavily forested, as is most of Southeast Alaska. The island's highest point is Crystal Mountain (3317 ft.), with the island's other peaks averaging around 2500 feet. The high rugged mountains of the coast range tower above Mitkof, while the fjords and glaciers of the mainland lay just a few miles to the east. Mitkof Island is approximately 24 miles long and 135,000 acres in size. Ground cover consists mostly of muskeg... a spongy, grassy bog which always stays wet. The island of Mitkof is geographically tied to the island of Kupreanof. The two are separated by over 20 miles of narrow tidal waterway, the Wrangell Narrows, which in some areas is barely wide enough to accommodate the Alaska State ferry. The Wrangell Narrows is a rich fast waterway, with tides varying from a high of 19 feet to a low of -4 feet in one day. The Wrangell Narrows meet Frederick Sound at the north end of Mitkof Island, where Petersburg is located. Frederick Sound is a major Southeast waterway which intersects with lower Stephans Passage and Chatham Strait. The rich waterway of Frederick Sound is home to vigorous runs of salmon, deep dwelling halibut, and summertime humpback whales. The Stikine-LeConte Wilderness Area and Petersburg Creek-Duncan Salt Chuck Wilderness are nearby.

Prologue Acknowledgments Introduction alaska geography and the Anthropology ofIts Native Peoples PART ONE RUSSIAN AMERICA Russian America, an Introduction
http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/HAYALC.html

Extractions: Alaska, an American Colony focuses on Russian America and American Alaska, bringing the story of Alaska up to the present and exploring the continuing impact of Alaska Native claims settlements, the trans-Alaska pipeline, and the Alaska Lands Act. In contrast to the stereotype of Alaska as a place where rugged individualists triumph over the harsh environment, distinguished historian Stephen Haycox offers a less romantic, more complex history that emphasizes the broader national and international contexts of Alaska's past and the similarities between Alaska and the American West. Covering cultural, political, economic, and environmental history, the book also includes an overview of the region's geography and the anthropology of Alaska's Native peoples. Throughout Alaska, an American Colony, Haycox stresses the continuing involvement of Alaska Natives in the state's economic, political, and social life and development. He also explores the power of myth in historical representations of Alaska and the controlling influence of national perceptions of the region.

Yakutat History Yakutat Culture The area maintains a traditional Tlingit culture with influences from the original Eyaks, as well as Russian, English and American traders and miners. Fishing and subsistence activities are prevalent. TLINGIT CARVING The Tlingit people are artistic by nature and some people would argue that their fine sense of workmanship and design is best exemplified through the medium of carving. Most Tlingit objects were carved from wood, the most readily available and highly useable substance. Other materials such as horn, copper and later silver were also decorated with carved figures.

Extractions: Index Technology Inventions The Million Dollar Bridge was built in 1908 and has withstood Alaskan weather, an earthquake, disrepair, and neglect. It is still a point of debate today as to whether or not repairs should continue. Look at the entire history of this bridge, an extensive photo gallery, and an architectural study of the bridge. It explains what was needed to build a structure capable of withstanding Alaskan weather extremes.

Extractions: SONG: What a Wonderful World My name is Barbara Logan and I will be your hostess. I arrived in the state of Alaska on July 7, 1977 and have lived in Fairbanks for over twenty-six years. When I was growing up, in hot central California, I always wished to live in a place where there was snow, so I could have a "white" Christmas. Well, now I have my "white" Christmases... also "white" Octobers, Novembers, Decembers, Januarys, Februarys, Marches and Aprils, and sometimes Septembers and Mays - EVERY YEAR! The lesson of this story is: "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR." (SMILE) Alaska is a beautiful state, filled with wilderness lands and an abundance of wildlife. It can get pretty cold here in the winter, but the mild summer weather makes up for the winter cold. The Aurora Borealis, or "Northern Lights," as we call them, are absolutely mesmerizing. It's well worth venturing out on a cold winter night to see them dance across the sky. I have a lot of information about Alaska and my Alaska photos on my pages linked below.

Geography serves as a bridge between the natural and social sciences by studying the interrelationships between the earth's physical and biological systems, and how these environmental systems provide a natural resource base for human societies. Geographers are interested in patterns of human settlement, natural resources distribution, resources use and conservation. Geographers are interested in the sense of place among the peoples of the world. Geographic methodologies include observation, measurement, description and analysis of places or areas including their likenesses, differences, interdependence and importance. Geographic professions are diverse and include opportunities in mapping, remote sensing, demographics, international relations, landscape analysis, environmental assessment and planning, regional planning, and weather and climate analysis. Also, geography provides an excellent background for specialized or interdisciplinary graduate study.
Songwriters Take Liberties With Alaska's Geography, Alaska Science Forum
alaska Science Forum. July 12, 1983. Songwriters Take Liberties withalaska s geography Article 617. by Larry Gedney. This article
http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF6/617.html

Extractions: Article #617 by Larry Gedney This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Larry Gedney is a seismologist at the Institute. While most Alaskans take pride in their hardiness, even the most seasoned sourdough must blush when Johnny Horton proclaims in one of his best-selling records that "When It's Springtime In Alaska, It's 40 below." While that may be true on rare occasions, it's hardly commonplace. There are many examples of outlandish stories that have been told of life in the far north (also many very good ones, such as those written by Jack London). A couple of relatively recent songs illustrate the point that there is a lack of general knowledge about where Alaska is, and what it's all about. One example is found in Lefty Frizzell's fairly old (late 1950s) recording of "Saginaw, Michigan." In this saga, the hero, who is trying to woo his sweetheart in Saginaw, is repulsed by her father, who claims he is a bum. The hero comes to Alaska and, after a while, sends a telegram that claims that he has made the "Richest Strike In Klondike History." The girl's dad, who is obviously a greedy old cuss, now compliments the boy and wants to buy his claim, offering in the bargaining, his daughter's hand. Well, the deal is made, the kids are rich, and everything seems rosy. Except that our hero turns out to be a con-man. As the final words of the song go, (as narrated by the bridegroom):
