Why is that ring there?






Watching our contrail shadow cross the North Pacific.

Default AK or Siberia? Or Norsk-something?

Re-Top Picture, Jungle.
I need a clue. I think I've been around there, but it looks a lot different from the heights I usually spend prowling around. It's kind of grey usually too. Fuzzy super-marginal VFR, and I'm easily confused. At first glance I was thinking that was the Hubbard Glacier doing its thing and calving big time near here in Yakutat, but now, after pulling out the Juneau sectional and imagining I'm at >30k I don't think so. Maybe the VFR sectionals are slower to update than glaciers?

Looks familiar though.
Seen one glacier seen
'em all I guess.
Stupid glaciers.
Sources of too much contention.
Why don't they just go away?
Lots of good salmon streams hidden under there.

Only kidding for the sensitive types.

Looks like an avalanche came down that valley.

Draw a line between N61 09.0 W150 12.4(ANC VOR) and N61 12.0 W152 00.0 and you might see it, over there in the small mountains.

Are my eyes bad or does a parked MD-11 always appear to be slightly nose-up?

It's a portal where shadow people enter the under world.

Never thought about it, but it does look that way. Maybe someone just miss-read the loading forms in this case.
