Shimmering reflections off Hogg Bay

Rocky shoreline, a glacier coming to the sea, and high mountain peaks. Hogg Bay has it all.

Icy Bay living up to its name

An aerial view of meandering frozen channels of the Copper River reminiscent of Nazca Lines.

An aerial view of the south entrance to Icy Bay showing the great sandspit and the endless surf of the Gulf of Alaska.

Mt. St. Elias seen from the south looking over the Malaspina Glacier. In the foreground are glacial moraines and a rocky beach with glacial debris.

Looking to the east from Cape Spencer Lighthouse - northern entrance to the Inside Passage from the Gulf of Alaska.

Eldred Rock Lighthouse in Lynn Canal.

Aerial photograph. Islets of volcanic boulders at low tide on Augustine Volcano. Tidal channels and brownish red algae covered rocks.

Aerial photograph. A low tide landscape of tidal channels nearly orthogonal to shoreline with randomly spaced circular and elliptical potholes. A few of the potholes have boulders in them.

Aerial photograph. A remarkable display of differential erosion in folded strata at Contact Point. Contact Point was named by the United States Geological Survey because of the fault contact between two geological formations at this location.

Aerial photograph. Tignavik Point on Ursus Cove. At low tide the extent of land extends far offshore from the high-tide line. Brownish-red algae covered rock is seen in the foreground.

Aerial photograph. A rectangular lake, majestic mountains, the low tide line approximately 20 feet vertically below the logs and debris marking high tide.

Aerial photograph. the continuation of streams running off a steep mountainside into the tidal zone is apparent. Note the very pronounced meander in the center-right steam.

Aerial photograph. Differentially eroded sedimentary layers show linear ridges parallel to the shoreline with tidal channels cutting perpendicular channels. The red is seaweed (algae).

Aerial photograph. Meandering streams in the intertidal zone.

Aerial photograph. Tidal wetlands in the Susitna River Delta.

Aerial photograph. The mudflats of Turnagain Arm at low tide. This arm of Cook Inlet dashed Captain Cook's quest for a Northwest passage. It also is the location of one of the few tidal bores on the North American continent.

Aerial photograph. The Coast Guard base and piers at Homer Spit.

Aerial photograph. Stratified sedimentary layers in Kachemak Bay.

Aerial photograph. Magnificent braided river delta with red and green flora showing at low tide.

Aerial photograph. Low tide in Chugach Bay showing red and green algae covered rocks with driftwood littering the high tide line.

Aerial photograph. The navigation light at the SW tip of Elizabeth Island which marks the SE end of Cook Inlet and SW tip of the Kenai Peninsula.

Aerial photograph. Erosion patterns in joint patterns of rocks on the shore of Montague Island with large tide pools showing at the lower limit of low tide.
