Fish Eye View of Pack Rafting in Alaska
Join a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service field crew as they float down Birch Creek near Talkeetna, Alaska to document spawning activity in a Susitna River tributary with no fish passage barriers. Spawning surveys and precise habitat measurements will be used to predict the potential of streams blocked by adult fish passage barriers to provide suitable habitat and produce salmon.

ADAK ALASKA LOWELL THOMAS JR. KING OF THE ALASKAN SEAS KING CRAB MOVIE 87064
Hosted by Lowell Thomas, Jr., King of the Alaskan Seas is a portrait of the people of Adak, Alaska including the Inuit peoples. Made in 1965, the film focuses on the wintertime King Crab harvest, including a visit with the captain and crew of the fishing vessel Deep Sea and the processing center.
Adak is a city located on Adak Island, in the Aleutians West Census Area, Alaska, United States. At the 2010 census the population was 326. It is the westernmost municipality in the United States and the southernmost city in Alaska.The city is the former location of the Adak Army Base and Adak Naval Operating Base, NAVFAC Adak. There are no radio stations within 200 miles (320 km) of Adak; radio can be received in Adak only through satellite or shortwave receivers.
The Aleutian Islands were historically occupied by the Unanga, more commonly known now as the Aleuts. The once heavily populated island was eventually abandoned in the early 19th century as the Aleutian Island hunters followed the Russian fur trade eastward, and famine set in on the Andreanof Island group. However, they continued to hunt and fish actively around the island over the years, until World War II broke out. Adak Army installations allowed U.S. forces to mount a successful offensive against the Japanese-held islands of Kiska and Attu. After the war, Adak was developed as a naval air station, playing an important role during the Cold War as a submarine surveillance center. Large earthquakes rocked the island in 1957, 1964 and 1977.
Since World War II, the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard developed facilities and recreation opportunities at Adak. At its peak, Adak had a college, a McDonald's restaurant, movie theater, roller skating rink, swimming pool, ski lodge, bowling alleys, skeet range, auto hobby shop, photo lab, and racquetball and tennis courts. A new $18-million hospital was built in 1990, just seven years prior to the closure of the station. By March 2003, six years after the closure of the station, most of these facilities had closed.
Lowell Jackson Thomas, Jr. (born October 6, 1923) is a film and television producer who collaborated with his father, the accomplished reporter and author Lowell Thomas, on several projects before becoming an Alaskan State Senator in the early 1970s, and later the third Lieutenant Governor of Alaska (1974–1978). In the 1980s, he owned and operated Talkeetna Air Taxi, an Alaska bush flying service.
He graduated from the Taft School in 1942 and went on to Dartmouth College, before joining the United States Army Air Corps.[1]
Lowell Thomas, Jr. was a brother of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Phi chapter).
Invited with his father, Lowell Thomas Sr., by the Tibetan government to make a film there in 1949 with the hope that their reports would help persuade the U.S. government to defend Tibet against the Chinese. The trip lasted 400 days, and the father and son were the last Westerners to reach Lhasa before the Chinese. CBS did not broadcast the resultant film, Expedition to Lhasa, Tibet, until years later, but his book about the expedition, Out of This World, published in 1950 became a bestseller.[2]
In 2005, the Dalai Lama bestowed the International Campaign for Tibet's Light of Truth Award on Lowell Jr.
Long an inhabitant of Alaska he is best known for his interest in the Arctic Research Labs based in Barrow, AK. Much as his father had done he ventured into the harsh environment of the ice islands where research was done by scientists on the Arctic Ocean and its atmosphere including the Auroras. He published his adventure in National Geographic magazine in 1965.

I Am A Hooligan Fisherman | INDIE ALASKA
Alaska is known for its abundant salmon fisheries, but few outsiders have ever heard of the yearly hooligan runs.
These fish earned the name candlefish from being so fat during spawning, with up to 15% of total body weight in fat, that if caught, dried, and strung on a wick, it can be burned as a candle.
Local subsistence fisherman Warren Jones is a father, a recent college grad, and a Marine Corps veteran who served with the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance battalion as a scout from 2002 to 2006.

Alaska - The Last Frontier - May 2012
Mackenzie Images spent a week exploring some of the wonders of The Last Frontier the great state of Alaska. From our base at the Alyeska Hotel in Girdwood, we explored the Kenia Peninsula from Seward to Homer and many parts in between. We ventured out onto the waters of Resurrection Bay with Kenai Fjords Tours out of Seward. The surrounding waters and fjords afforded us the opportunity to enjoy the snow covered mountains, sea otters, bald eagles, sheep, black bears, orca whales, seals, sea lions, puffins and got very close to the foot of a 1,000,000 year old glacier.
One of the highlights of the trip was a very rare encounter with a young female brown bear. She was sighted along Seward Highway, totally enjoying a sunny afternoon, playing with a discarded plastic bag.
Another even more spectacular day was spent exploring Denali National Park and taking in the majesty of the Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America. She stands 20,320 feet above sea level. The next day, we took the trip of a life time with K2 Aviation and flew from their base in Talkeetna, AK up and around Mt. McKinley and ultimately landed on a glacier that is used as a base camp for the climbers that make the assent of the mountain. We were blessed with a perfectly clear day which made for some fantastic photographic opportunities.
At this time of year the sun doesn't set until 10:30pm at night and it remains twilight until past midnight, so sunsets were a bit tricky to capture, but we got a few to share.
Alaska is truly wild, majestic, and filled with adventures where ever you turn. From moose sightings that challenge you while driving, to the snow covered mountains that seem to rise to the heavens from the deep blue sea, this is a part of the world that should be seen and experienced.

- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move

SUMMARY
=======
Alaska ( ( listen); Aleut: Alax̂sxax̂; Inupiaq: Alaskaq; Russian: Аляска, translit. Alyaska) is a U.S. state in the northwest extremity of North America. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east, its most extreme western part is Attu Island, and it has a maritime border with Russia (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) to the west across the Bering Strait. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas—the southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest. It is the largest state in the United States by area and the
seventh largest subnational division in the world. In addition, it is the 3rd least populous and the most sparsely populated of the 50 United States; nevertheless, it is by far the most populous territory located mostly north of the 60th parallel in North America: its population—estimated at 738,432 by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2015— is more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland. Approximately half of Alaska's residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska's economy is dominated by the fishing, natural gas, and oil industries, resources which it has in abundance. Military bases and tourism are also a significant part of the economy.
The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.
