Just when you're wondering what to post for the Geology Picture of the Week, something new pops up. IN this case, some aerial shots of volcanoes in Alaska. The link above goes to the site; three examples below.
Augustine volcano (foreground), Iliamna on horizon
Fourpeaked Volcano's glacier descends to Cook Inlet
Shishaldin, Fuji of the Aleutians
TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Education; Outdoors; Science
KEYWORDS: alaska; glaciers; shishaldin; volcanoes
Good weather like this does not happen very often in the Aleutian Islands.

And they look so neat, so straight as little stripes on the glacier - until you get close......
Thanks!
