Plane Views: Anchorage to Nome

Posted by Evelyn Mervine

This is Part IV (the final part) of my series of “Plane View” pictures taken during my trip from Cape Town, South Africa to Nome, Alaska. Part I is here, and Part II is here, and Part III is here.

After we reached Anchorage, my husband and I had three nights to recover from jetlag (and do some work, kayaking, and shopping) before our flight up to Nome. Thus, we were rested and able to enjoy the views on the flight to Nome although cloud cover kept us from seeing the best views of Nome. Perhaps when we fly out next month the weather will be clearer, and we’ll be able to see more.

Enjoy the pictures! As usual, please feel free to comment on any interesting geological features which you observe.
