The Scenery here on Umnak Island is pretty neat. It's not like any place I have ever seen. I have captured some of the same landmarks over and over already, but as the light changes, or the weather, the scene looks beautiful and different.
Mt. Tulik is the cone shaped volcano, and every morning it seems more majestic than the morning before. Often you cannot see the top of it, but when the clouds move away it is quite a sight.
Shiprock is out in the ocean, and is quite an impressive landmark. The big, hulking, unique V shaped rock is in many of my photos, and the sun rises there.
Okmok, is the Caldera, a large volcanic crater, with 6 volcanic cones inside. This is the one that erupted in 2008. What we see is the outside rim of the Caldera. It's right behind our cabin, approximately 6 miles away.
There is so much I would like to explore on this island, but I probably won't get to. When I go for a walk, I have to carry Brodie in a pack on my back. It's difficult to hike very far with a 30 lb pack on your back (when you're not used to that sort of thing)
We have went pretty far some days, a few miles, but everything to explore is at least 3 or more miles away, so I seldom reach any destination. It's still nice though.
