I was saddened to hear of a couple of accidents in Skaqway, Alaska recently.
One, a plane crash by the old wooden boards marking the victims of the snow
avalanche back in the "days of 98". The other was a worker inside a caisson
at the harbor-side when a small tsunami hit after a landslip event somewhere
in the Lynn Canal causing him to be drowned. Do they still warn people of
the cost of retrieving the injured from the National Parks Service
maintained trails up there? They will send you a bill for evacuating you if
you get hurt and need an evacuation the brochure used to say.

Flying into it from Juneau is beautiful in a small plane but snow squalls
are also a concern. Almost all of the area is covered in some way by ice at
the edge of precipice creating a local "weather" maybe a new dynamism, I
think. Also not far from Skagway is a 100 mile long glacier one of the
longest known. Wonder if there's been any research there. Did you see they
found one at low latitude in the Himalayas recently? Very interesting in
Tibet, the Chinese\Tibetan scientific expedition is exploring it.
