This is historical footage taken during the building of the Alaska Highway (ALCAN).
The Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaskan Highway, Alaska-Canadian Highway, or ALCAN Highway) was constructed during World War II for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska across Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942 at a length of approximately 1,700 miles (2,700 km), as of 2012 it is 1,387 mi (2,232 km) long. The difference in distance is due to constant reconstruction of the highway, which has rerouted and straightened out numerous sections. The highway was opened to the public in 1948.[1] Legendary over many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway is now paved over its entire length.[2] Its component highways are British Columbia Highway 97, Yukon Highway 1 and Alaska Route 2.
An informal system of historic mileposts developed over the years to denote major stopping points; Delta Junction, at the end of the highway, makes reference to its location at Historic Milepost 1422.[2] It is at this point that the Alaska Highway meets the Richardson Highway, which continues 96 mi (155 km) to the city of Fairbanks. This is often regarded, though unofficially, as the northern portion of the Alaska Highway, with Fairbanks at Historic Milepost 1520.[2] Mileposts on this stretch of highway are measured from Valdez, rather than the Alaska Highway. The Alaska Highway is popularly (but unofficially) considered part of the Pan-American Highway, which extends south (despite its discontinuity in Panama) to Argentina.

America's Wildest Places - Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
A land of awe-inspiring beauty, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska is also home to a wide variety of wildlife including moose, eagles, brown and black bears, lynx, wolves, and trumpeter swans.
WILDLIFE & HABITAT
Nearly two million acres in size and the most visited refuge in Alaska, Kenai Refuge is characterized by its diverse habitats and wildlife.
Ice Fields & Glaciers - The eastern portion of the refuge descends from the 6,500 Harding Ice Field to 2,000 to 4,000 ft. peaks in the western Kenai Mountains. Ice fields and glaciers are vital sources of fresh water for wildlife and people. Mountain goats, brown bears and ravens have been sighted crossing glaciers and on nunataks - exposed mountains projecting above the glacial ice.
Mountain Tundra- Tree line ends at 1,500 to 2,000 ft. with low growing tundra plants and shrubs continuing in elevation to snow and rock fields at 4,000 ft. Dall sheep, mountain goats, and caribou roam this rugged country. Hoary marmots form colonies on talus slopes. Brown bears graze for berries and occasionally take marmots and sheep. Wolves and golden eagles have been known to be successful hunters of young sheep. Wolverines scavenge the carcasses of dead sheep and goats.
Northern Boreal Forest- From sea level to 2,000 ft., the northern boreal forest is found on the refuge. This forest is composed predominately of white and black spruce, birch, aspen, and cottonwood trees in various stages of succession. This habitat is an important nesting area for summer migrants including orange-crowned and myrtle warblers, olive-sided flycatchers, fox sparrows, ruby crowned kinglets, and Swainson's and hermit thrushes. Local resident birds include great horned owls, hairy and downy woodpeckers, spruce grouse, red-breasted nuthatches, and boreal and black-capped chickadees.
Lakes & Wetlands- The northeastern portion of the refuge is dotted with hundreds of small lakes surrounded by wetland tundra or spruce/hardwood forest hills. This large wetland habitat supports migratory breeding birds including common and pacific loons, grebes, trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, ducks, and shorebirds. Mammals found within this habitat include caribou, moose, beaver, muskrat, and mink. The lakes support a variety of fish species, such as rainbow trout, arctic char, red and silver salmon, and sticklebacks.
Within this habitat, the Chickaloon River Flats remains the last pristine major saltwater estuary on the Kenai Peninsula.
Rivers- The refuge is drained by nine river systems, including the world famous Kenai River, renowned for its wide variety of sport fish including Chinook (king), sockeye (red), and coho (silver) salmon, and Dolly Varden and rainbow trout.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
Your opportunities for outdoor adventures here extend year-round and include world-class fishing, hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing, canoeing, and camping. Whether you choose to fish or float the emerald waters of the Kenai River or experience wilderness solitude canoeing in lowland lakes or hiking high into the alpine tundra, you are sure to create life-long and indelible memories.
Driving Directions:
From Anchorage, drive 90 miles on the Seward Highway to the junction of the Sterling Highway. Turn west at Milepost 37 of the Sterling Highway and travel 18 miles to the eastern Refuge boundary at Milepost 55 of the Sterling Highway. In three more miles (Milepost 58, Sterling Highway), you find the Refuge Visitor Contact Station on the north side of the Sterling Highway, a self-serve information facility during summer months. On the south side of Sterling Highway at Milepost 58 is the eastern turn off for Skilak Lake Road. This 19 mile gravel loop road leads to Refuge hiking trails, campgrounds, and a scenic drive and then rejoins the Sterling Highway at Milepost 75. Whether you take the Skilak Lake Road or the Sterling Highway from Mile 58, you are approximately 40 miles from Soldotna and the Refuge Visitor Center.
To find the Refuge Visitor Center when you arrive in Soldotna, travel to mile 95 of the Sterling Highway, crossing the Kenai River Bridge. Once you cross the river, immediately get in the far left turn lane and make a left on to Funny River Road. As soon as you are on Funny River Road, prepare for an immediate right turn on to Ski Hill Road. Ski Hill Road is gravel, and you will drive one mile up the hill and make a left turn on to a paved road leading to the Visitor Center. The Center is open daily in summer (Weekdays: 8:00AM--4:30PM; and weekends: 9:00AM--5:00PM) and Monday through Saturday from October through April (Weekdays: 8:00AM--4:30PM and Saturdays: 10:00AM-5:00PM).

Kenai Fjords National Park is a United States National Park established in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The park covers an area of 669,984 acres (1,046.85 sq mi; 2,711.33 km2) on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska, near the town of Seward. The park contains the Harding Icefield, one of the largest ice fields in the United States. The park is named for the numerous fjords carved by glaciers moving down the mountains from the ice field. The field is the source of at least 38 glaciers, the largest of which is Bear Glacier. The park lies just to the west of Seward, a popular port for cruise ships. Exit Glacier is reachable by road and is a popular tour destination. The remainder of the park is primarily accessible by boat. The fjords are glacial valleys that have been submerged below sea level by a combination of rising sea levels and land subsidence.Ready to explore the world?

Sea Monster in Alaska CAUGHT on Video by U S Government ?
From Nessie making an appearance in Alaska, to the Russian's finding something extremely unsettling, this is Crypto Fun Friday !
While most people have to go searching for the Loch Ness Monster, a vacationer was fortunate enough to be gazing at the Loch … when Nessie simply popped her head out of the water … at least that’s the story we heard. A 28-year-old woman was on the balcony of her holiday home at Loch Ness when she saw a mysterious ripple on the surface, followed by a ‘blue thing’ swimming across. She grabbed her phone and managed to snap a few pictures … but when she tried to zoom in, the object disappeared. The woman claimed it’s not often one sees a monster while on holiday … but did she really see one?
Here’s another potential sea monster that was caught on video … this time in Russia. What appeared to be a huge, serpent-like object in remote Lake Turgoyak (tur-goy-ak) has people making the Nessie tie-ins. A kayaker said he spotted the mysterious object causing ripples on one area of the lake’s surface. The video footage shows large black rings that conceivably resemble the coils of a snake. While the kayaker claims the object appeared to be around 15 meters long and serpentine … he also conceded the ripples could have been caused by divers training. But as it turns out, no dive teams were swimming deep in that area of the lake on that day. Aside from the obvious comparison to Nessie, we couldn’t find that many theories about what this snakelike thing might have been … Care to give it a go?
Some of the clearest pictures of the Loch Ness Monster appeared earlier in 2016 … if it really was the legendary Nessie. An amateur photographer named Ian Bremner snapped the pictures that show a dark creature with a long, serpentine body bobbing along the surface of Loch Ness. The animal is estimated at around 2 meters long appears to have a tail, and and has a silvery sheen on its skin. Many sceptics point out that the animal’s head could be a seal, and the picture merely shows three of them playing in the water. But Mr Bremner has his believers … and they say the images closely resemble the most sharply focused examples of Nessie yet found.
Accounts of a sea monster have been documented since the 1800s in Barmouth, Wales when footprints as big as an elephant’s were found on the beach. Subsequent accounts described the creature’s appearance as similar to a crocodile’s. WItnesses who claimed to see the creature in broad daylight in 1975 described it as having a square face with a long neck and tail, and flippers. Earlier in 2016, the first-ever photograph of the legendary beast possibly surfaced.
Have you ever heard of the Morag (mor-rag)? It’s a Scottish sea monster that makes its home in Loch Morar (mora) … about 70 miles from Loch Ness. Stories of the creature date back to 1887 … and this cryptid is something of a paradox. It’s been described as having a beautiful, mermaid-like visage … but it’s also described as a demonic character whose presence was considered to portend death. According to folklore, the Morag can appear like a black heap that slowly rises in the water and moves along like a waterlogged boat. But more recent accounts describe it as a humped, serpentine creature, more along the lines of Nessie. The best known sighting occurred in 1969, when two men accidentally struck the creature with their boat.
Let’s head back to Russia for this one … At remote Lake Labynkyr (la-bink-er) in Siberia, a mysterious dark creature is said to inhabit the deep, icy waters. It’s called the 'Labynkyr (la-bink-er) Devil’ … and the lake it inhabits is so secluded that no one lives within a 100 mile radius. Except for an adventurer named Andrey Solovyez, who’s keeping a vigil there.. He’s braving temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius because he’s convinced he has proof of the creature’s existence -- his fishing nets were torn and shredded by something too powerful to be a fish. Reports of a Nessie-type creature have persisted in the region since the 19th century. And according to some scientists, sonar readings do indicate that at least one huge creature might lurk under the surface. Sightings analyzed by experts conclude the creature is up to 10 meters long, with a massive jaw that has a beaklike appearance and lots of teeth. Theories include the creature being a prehistoric marine reptile such as an ichthyosaurs (itch-thee-o-sore) or plesiosaur. Another possibility is the creature being a relic killer whale that was somehow marooned in the lake. For now, scientists still have no explanation for what the kind of animal it might be.

1949 Ice Bowl and early Fairbanks football
Clips of football games in Fairbanks in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Includes footage of the Fairbanks Ice Bowl, an annual football game played on New Year's Day from 1949-1952. These particular scenes are from the Ice Bowl game between the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Ladd Airforce Base, now Ft. Wainwright; On January 1, 1949, the temperature was -25ºF; the final score was 0 to 0. See more info in article below. (B&W/Color/Silent/16mm and 8mm film)
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-705, AAF-706, AAF-6700, and AAF-7988 from the Isaac collection, the Dean Phillips collection, and the Elsa and Elizabeth Lundgren collection, held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives.
Excerpts from “Ice Bowl - Frigid Fairbanks Football” by Randy Zarnke:
Back in the autumn of 1948, sports enthusiasts at UAF and Ladd Field (now known as Fort Wainwright) began discussing the upcoming college bowl games. Those discussions evolved into a proposal for a game pitting students from “up on the hill” against recruits from “out on the base.” The game was scheduled for January 1, 1949, and would be dubbed “The Ice Bowl.”
Planners were adamant that the game would be played regardless of weather conditions. They encouraged players to wear adequate clothing and proposed a scheme where each squad would have 33 players, and entire platoons of 11 players would rotate every five minutes.
The game drew lots of interest from the community. The December 31, 1948, edition of the News-Miner contained an article which began as follows:
“The only New Year’s Day football game in the country where admission is free will get under way with the dull thud of mukluk on frigid pigskin tomorrow in Fairbanks ‘Ice Bowl.’ Not even the prospect of 20 to 30 degrees below zero is expected to deter several hundred fans from mushing or snow-shoeing to the Ladd maintenance squadron gridiron for the spectacle, the first of its kind in history.”
Well-know local entrepreneur Cap Lathrop donated a trophy for the game. Unfortunately, neither team could claim the prize. The January 3, 1949, edition reported on the game as follows: “Five hundred fans scorned the 25-below zero weather to stomp on the sidelines and watch – through the frozen vapor of their own breath – the college and air force squads mush to a scoreless tie … The football itself exhibited an entirely new set of tricks in mid-air as punts lofted from caribou mukluks and passes wobbled off mittens.”
Yard lines were marked with black coal dust on the white snow, a fact confirmed by newspaper descriptions of the game.
Merritt Mitchell played end for the college squad. “Geez, it was really cold. You could see the smoke just pouring out of the chimneys on base. I wore mittens, felt shoes from the NC Company, a stocking cap under my helmet, a sweater under my jersey and long-johns under my football pants … I had lots of fun out there; we all did. Well, except for Hal Sherman. He broke his leg. One noteworthy sequence of film footage shows Mitchell turning toward the camera and blowing his frosty breath at the lens. Another section of the film shows Sherman being hauled off on a stretcher.
That first Ice Bowl had proven so popular that the university created a varsity-level program in the autumn of 1949 and hired Jim Welsch to coach the team. During that 1949 campaign, the UAF squad played against teams from Ladd, Delta Junction and even a high school team from Fairbanks.
As the 1949 season drew to a close and temperatures dropped, plans for the second “Ice Bowl” heated up. According to the December 31, 1949, edition of the News-Miner, “Another rule of this Arctic deep-freeze contest states that time out will not be charged against either team if play is interrupted by dog teams, trappers or wandering herds of caribou. Players are required to wear heavy woolen socks and either mukluks or shoe-pacs. Regulation football shoes are not permitted.”
The 1950 game was another hard-fought contest, played in warmer weather than the previous year. The college boys prevailed thanks to kicker Leo Helsby, “With the Ladd Flyers and the Polar Bears deadlocked in a scoreless tie … Big Leo was sent in for a last-ditch attempt for a field goal from the Ladd 20 yard line. Clearing a spot in the 10-inch deep snow, Leo swung his soft-toed sneaker, connected squarely and sent the pigskin flying 36 yards between the uprights …”
The Ice Bowl was played for two more years, but the series came to an end after the 1952 contest due to “… lack of interest.”

Klondike Alaska: A Rail History
For most people, railroads in Alaska and the Yukon are synonymous with the Alaska Railroad and the White Pass and Yukon Railroad whose passenger cars provide tourists with vistas of awe-inspiring terrain. That same terrain provided enormous challenges for early settlers of both territories. Railroads were an integral part of overcoming those challenges. Dozens of other railroads also laid track in Alaska, the Yukon, and northwest British Columbia and provided the means to transport supplies to settlements and to transport the region’s raw materials to outside markets. Klondike Alaska charts the history of many of those railroads. ©KUAC 2005

More wildfires in Alaska? - Randi Jandt - Science for Alaska Lecture 2019
Randi Jandt presented this lecture on Feb 19, 2019 at Raven Landing in Fairbanks, Alaska. Randi is an expert in Alaska fire ecology, tundra fire, fire management, and wildlife biology. She is a Fire Ecologist with the Alaska Fire Science Consortium.
–
Wildfires were in the news last fall -- again. Have you wondered what drives large fire seasons and whether climate or humans are more to blame? Here's an Alaska perspective on climatic and environmental changes we've observed so far and how they affect wildfire incidence, size, seasonality, effects, and severity. Since many environmental factors (temperature, lightning, permafrost, forest make-up) contribute to fire processes, an interdisciplinary approach is essential to predicting what fire seasons of the future will be like. We'll discuss current thinking on what will happen in Alaska with climate projections in the not-so-distant future.

The 2019 Science for Alaska Lecture Series will happen on Tuesdays, January 29 through March 5, at 7p.m. at Raven Landing Center, located at 1222 Cowles St.

Fresh Water Meets Sea Water – Boundary Explained
This is the Fraser River Delta just in front of Vancouver BC Canada, this is where sea water meets fresh water.
The river water from Fraser River, flows into the ocean water of the Strait of Georgia.
Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different bodies meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier creates a noticeable line, as each water body has its own temperature, salinity, and density.
If you go on google earth and look up Fraser River or Sea Island which is an airport right at the water edge, you will see this boundary line stretching for miles.
This is the religious event people relate this water barrier to.
QUR’AN 25.53 - And he it is who has let flow forth the two large bodies of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter; and He has set a barrier and an insurmountable, forbidding ban that keeps them apart.

Nakani: The Wildman of the North
Legend has it that a mysterious figure haunts the frozen forests of Northern Canada. Very little known outside of the Canadian Territories and Alaska, this figure most closely resembles the Sasquatch said to roam the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. To the Dene people who have inhabited the Athabascan wilderness since time immemorial, however, these creatures are known as Nakani.
