The South Of Alaska, The British Columbia, By The Basins Of The Naas And Skeena Rivers

Transcendent means beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience. I think people would go to the Alaskan wilderness to find a deeper meaning in their life because they want to transcend into another stage in their life. The wilderness can be a great place to do that because it is isolated from society. Also you are one on one with nature and the wild is your playground. Noone is there to stop you or hold you back. All your thoughts are able to manifest freely. To reach that transcendent state requires sacrifices. Such as moving from society or your family. These things are needed because you are trying to dig deep inside yourself and while you do that you can’t be worried about the things around you. All distractions

The mid-Atlantic and Southern regions during the 17th century, played a big role in creating and structuring America’s politics, economy and social life. Through trial and error eventually these regions formed America into the country as we know it today. The mid-Atlantic 's vast wealth of natural resources allowed this region to become very fruitful, economically in several key industries. The South during this time became very dependent of agriculture and trade. Settlers relied heavily on slave labor to work on farms, which created economic wealth through the use of plantations (Original13colonies, “n.d.). These two particular regions had several overlapping similarities as well as differences that made them unique.

This tundra region spans an area of 26 million hectares. Around 24.2% of the land is covered by slow-growing forest. The remaining area is dominated by bogs, fens, and thousands of small lakes and ponds. Two-thirds of the area in this region is covered by muskeg, a type of acidic soil.

Location and Extent: The Cook Inlet Basin is located in the south central part of Alaska, and stretches roughly 180 miles from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage. (Figure 1) This basin includes Susitna and Copper River basins in the north and the Shelikov Straight to the southwest. The watershed of this inlet covers around 100,000 km2 in southern Alaska, east of the Aleutian Mountain Range, receiving water from four main tributaries, the Knit, Little Susitna, Susitna, and Matanuska Rivers. The Cook Inlet is extremely important to the economy of Alaska as it provides a navigable passage to the port of Anchorage in its northern end.

During the early to middle Palaeozoic, the northwest orientation was the main deformation features in Australia and Northern Carnarvon Basin. In Northern Carnarvon Basin, several sub-basins and Plateaus are separated by northwest oriented faults and basement highs. Cape Range Fracture Zone (CRFZ) separates the west side of Exmouth Plateau, the Long Island Fault System separates the southern boundary of Barrow Sub-Basin and Sultan Nose uplift separates the Barrow from Dumpier Sub-Basin (DAIM, 1998). During middle Palaeozoic, basin started extending to northeast direction and deformation and structures orientation shifted from the Northwest to the Northeast trend. These northeast structural features were inherited to the deformation pattern throughout Mesozoic. Intermittent rifting of Australia

Southeast Alaska contains 10.9 million acres of forest land. Forty percent of southeast Alaska’s forest land or 4.4 million acres is reserved federal land and includes National Park Service or U.S. Forest Service lands, national forest wilderness areas, and federal game refuges (Campbell et al. 2004). The coastal rainforest of southeast Alaska spans across the majority of the coast and at KLGO, the coastal rainforest spans from sea level to around 3500 feet in elevation. Southeast Alaska receives high levels of annual precipitation and coniferous trees dominate the area, although Skagway receives less precipitation compared to the rest of the region. Coastal rainforest vegetation around KLGO includes: western and mountain hemlock, Sitka spruce,

Do you know why October 18th, 1867 is an important date for Alaska? Do you know how much the United States bought the Alaskan Territory from Russia? Does it fascinate you to know how much money the United States paid per acre? Well although Alaska has a very short history compared to the rest of the contiguous United States, it has a very interesting history. The reason for that is because it was one of the very last states brought into the Union and recognized as “one of their own”. As most of people know, Alaska can be a really cold and brutal place to live. Depending on where you live in Alaska, the climate can differentiate from about 8°F - 58°F. All around Alaska, there are many points of interest. You will discover lots of important

Have you ever wondered about Montana, have you ever been to the Rocky Mountains or do

I want to take a few minutes to empty my brain of all things regarding a place I hold very dear to my heart. I’ve traveled a fair amount for the short time I’ve spent on this earth. I’ve been to Spain, France, Jamaica, Canada and all along the eastern coast of the United States, but one of my favorite places to be was a mere four minutes away from my house. Hallowell is a small town of just over 2,000 people in Central Maine. The overwhelming quantity of memories I’ve made there multiplies the infectious positivity that radiates from Hallowell, and has played a major role in who I have become. Of the people I’ve encountered here in New York, people have a preconceived belief that Maine shouldn’t ever be a topic of conversation, because there’s nothing there to even talk about. They are extremely mistaken. Whenever possible, I do whatever I can to show people Maine is an amazing place to live, as well as a place to put on their bucket list of visits.

Times were getting rough for the tribe. Food was coming up short, and it was getting harder and harder to hunt for food. There were limited resources during the cold, harsh winter. The tribe was starving. The men in the tribe did all the hunting while all the women made all the clothes. When the men did catch something, they got to eat first leaving little to none for the women and children, sometimes even letting them die of starvation. They had to make a decision about what they were going to

Climatic fluctuations led to major changes in the Arctic geography, effectively increasing the diversification of high-latitude organisms, including the lagomorphs that lived in those latitudes, in the Pleistocene. The organisms expanded into the new available habitats while the glaciers receded. One of these refugiums, Beringia, in Arctic North America during the glacial maxima, has been subjected to extensive research while many other refugiums have been hypothesized such as a High Canadian Arctic refugiums (Waltari et al. 2005). Furthermore, during the last glacial maximum some coastlines in the High Canadian Arctic were ice free (Waltari et al. 2005). Eurasia was less glaciated than North America during the glacial maxima, yet a large sheet

The first region of the country described in class was that of the Arctic. The Arctic tribes cover the western part of Alaska, northern part of Canada, and southern part of Greenland. People within this region are known as Inuits and their culture is very rich. The Arctic is a very cold area with little to no vegetation, and the Inuit culture and music reflects this. Just like the other regions that have been and will be described, the Native Americans of the Arctic have their own unique sound, song structure, and instrumentation. The first thing we will look at is instrumentation.

Alaska’s largest economic-sector employer, commercial fishing is a dominant contributor to employment and wages. The fishing industry employs tens of thousands of individuals producing billions of pounds of seafood for the US and the world. Alaska commercial fisher- men, when speaking in terms of what encompasses success depends on which oceanic species commercial fisheries are concentrating. These range from king salmon, chinook, herring, halibut and black cod, and snow crab.
