Home / Cruise to Alaska / Icy Strait Point and Hoonah 14
Icy Strait Point
- aan.jpg
Old Russian Orthodox graveyard in Hoonah. - aad.jpg
We saw lots of strange and really neat flowers in Alaska. I have no idea what this one is. [Edit, 7/5/2005: It's a crimson columbine.] - aae.jpg
Crimson columbine. - aaf.jpg
Everyplace we visited is part of Tongass National Forest, a temperate rainforest and the largest national forest in the country -- bigger than all the others combined. - aag.jpg
The soil is so thin and poor here that much of the trees' root systems are above ground. - aah.jpg
A really scary-looking 6-inch-long slug we encountered on the nature trail outside Hoonah. - aai.jpg
A pond on the nature trail by the dock. - aaj.jpg
...and they really mean it! - aal.jpg
A juvenile bald eagle. They don't get their white head and tail feathers until they're about 5 years old. - aak.jpg
Bald eagles like to come to this spot by the fishing docks because the fishermen throw them scraps. - aaa.jpg
Welcome to Icy Strait Point! - aac.jpg
Just to prove we were there. That's the Infinity in the background; there is no dock large enough for a cruise ship there so it had to anchor offshore and use some of the lifeboats as tenders to take passengers ashore. - aam.jpg
Mountains around Hoonah. I think this is a view from near the airport. - aab.jpg
Dock buildings, viewed from the tender that carried us there...probably as we were leaving, judging by the wake in the foreground.
