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.

Pictures #1 ~ #13 were taken at the Anchorage end of the trip, at first over Cook Inlet after taking off from Anchorage and then over the Susitna River a few miles north and northwest of Anchorage. Picture #14 is of Mt. McKinley (right) and Mt. Hunter (or possibly Mt. Foraker). The next several pictures are enroute to Nome. Pictures #18 and #19 are on approach to Nome airport, and #19 is the Nome airport terminal operated by Alaska Airlines. I have flown this route hundreds of times..

Thanks so much for the information! I especially appreciate the information on the mountain names. Perhaps I’ll see you around Nome sometime!
