We got us some of this ‘bathymetry’ here in PWS. It guides the flow of tides, gives home to rockfish & halibut, and occasionally either collapses to create tsunamis or dampens the force of tsunamis. Wild stuff that.

The Taku Glacier near Juneau, Alaska steadily gained mass through the 20th century, like a holdout from a prior ice age. But the glacier’s heyday appears to be over. #GlacialReadsWeekend🧊

Today we honor the life and legacy of our beloved Dr. Walter Soboleff, who lived by our traditional tribal values. Take a moment to listen to the words he shared at our 2006 Tribal Assembly.
Let us reflect today on his leadership, wisdom, service, kindness and love.

The world of modern marine debris is fascinating. We’re thankful to everyone who is responding and sharing their stories.

In January 2014, thousands of HP printer cartridges were lost overboard from a container ship in the Atlantic Ocean. They've since been found all the way from Florida to Norway. We found this one in Ireland a few weeks ago, 100 metres inland, among marine debris strewn along a lane to the beach.

Lucky for us the war on the war on disinformation has not affected the arena of marine debris. Yet.
For now, ppl still believe single-use #plastics harm wildlife, pollute H2O, & deserve reg action.

🗣️Hey you over there! Have you voted? It's Fat Bear Week!
Just like the charismatic chonks of @KatmaiNPS , coastal brown bears in Glacier Bay alike enter a stage called 'hyperphagia' each fall to prep themselves for winter, gaining as much as four pounds per day #FatBearWeek
