Alaska

These are pictures of the Alaskan Tundra. To the right, you can see a distant view of a dormant volcano.

Here's a description of the pictures below:

1. Ariel View -- Notice all the water.
2. Standard View -- Alder bushes are prevalent.
3. Close-up View -- The upper 6 to 12 inches of the tundra soil are frozen in this picture. Notice the alder roots grow along the surface of the solid. The tundra thaws slowly between May and July.
4. Fireweed -- This blooms in late July and early September on the tundra. Alaskans consider the Fireweed bloom to signal the end of summer.
