I've lived in Alaska 27 years this June. Alaska is a land that grows on you..digs deep inside and never lets you go. In chronological order, I've lived in Eagle River, Hatcher's Pass, Chugiak, Palmer, Chugiak, Eagle River, Anchorage, and the past 16 years in Juneau. This is my page for Alaska, the place of my heart. Digital art on this page is reduced. To see the full size click on the picture of choice. The electrical power of auroras is about 1,000 billion watts or 9,000 billion kilowatt hours annually - more than the present annual U.S. electric power consumption, which is approximately 1,000 billion kilowatt hours! from Alaska Aurora The Aurora Information and Images; Alaska Geophysical Institute WHALES AND OTHER WILDLIFE The Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska is summer home to feeding humpback whales -- the largest aggregation of humpbacks in the North Pacific. In these inside waters, 100 miles from the nearest ocean swell, the humpback feeds almost continuously on the rich proliferation of life, produced by the long daylight hours and the cold Alaskan waters. Other animals share the bounty...the orca, minke whale, Dall's porpoise and harbor porpoise, and the birds. The red-necked phalarope flitters from bubble-net to bubble-net created by the humpback, to benefit from the krill-laden upwelling. Bald eagles soar overhead and flank the shores to feed off salmon returning to where they were spawned. Steller sea lions intersperse their lounging about the islands with pursuit of prey, and sometimes playfully or aggressively interact with other marine mammals, particularly the humpbacks. from The Intersea Foundation "Juneau Summer" colored pencil. © 1982
