ANCHORAGE
July 14 - 16, 2016
Mt. Sanford (16,235 ft), Mt. Drum, and Mt. Wrangell. Zoom in on Mt. Wrangell, on the right, the little puff on top is not a cloud, it is steam from the active volcano. Cool!
Our next stop was at a Musk Ox Farm. These animals are basically the same as their ancestors from prehistoric times. At this farm, they are domesticated, and the underfur, called qiviut, is harvested, combed by hand each spring. It is non-allergenic, and 6 times warmer than wool. It's knitted into scarves, hats, and gloves. I only wish I could afford some. Whooee.
