Mean while in Alaska it’s SNOWING

❄️ Accumulating wet snow is expected Sunday into Monday across the North Slope and Brooks Range as a cold front works southeast from the Chukchi Sea. Here's a look at our expected snowfall amounts. Rain will move into this region tonight into Sunday morning before transitioning to all snow. Plan ahead for winter travel conditions, especially along the Dalton Highway over Atigun Pass.

My ultimate Alaskan photography shot is a fight between a bear and a killer whale. It could happen!

Mount Katmai, Alaska ⛰️

Before 1912, Mount Katmai was a massive snow-covered stratovolcano towering above the Alaska Peninsula.

Then came the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.

As magma drained during the 1912 Novarupta eruption, the summit of Mount Katmai lost support and collapsed into the earth, creating a giant caldera nearly 3 miles (4.8 km) wide.

Today, a deep blue crater lake fills the space where the mountain's summit once stood.

This isn't a crater blasted out by an explosion—it's an entire mountaintop that fell inward.

Swipe to see one of Earth's most dramatic volcanic transformations.

The big cruises like Carnaval and Disney have decided not to go to Tracy Arm because of this event that happened this past winter. The thing is that an event like this could happen almost anywhere in coastal Alaska. You can run but you can’t hide!

**HOLY HALIBUT! **

Petersburg fishermen brought in a near 400-pound giant this weekend and while it wasn’t a world record, it was still an absolute monster.

Brian Mattson and Doug Corl were longlining in Frederick Sound when they didn’t even realize what was on the line… until it surfaced. “Didn’t even know it was on until we saw it from the surface,” Mattson said.

The crew used a winch to bring it up, and the 396-pound halibut came in steady and strong. Measuring over 92 inches long, early estimates had it pushing well over 400 pounds depending on thickness.

For fishermen who’ve been working these waters since their teenage years, this was the biggest halibut they’ve ever landed. And when you’ve spent a lifetime at sea, that says something.

While it didn’t break the world record, fish like this remind everyone why Alaska is home to true “barn door” giants. Not your average catch, not even close.

Just another day on the water… but one they’ll never forget.

This a Lego recreation of Ketchikan .

The church is the iconic Lutheran Church that turned 100 years old last year. Also features Ellis Airlines that flew the Grumman Gooses that fought the Japanese in WW2. They were used in Ketchikan to transport over to the airport on Annette island. Ketchikan is on and island and you can’t drive there. The airport is now nearer the town and accessible via shuttle ferry.

The Alaska state ferry Columbia is offshore but in the summer you can find as many as 5 cruise ships parked at the dock or in the harbor. Locals will recognized the Arctic Bar and a Ferry’s Food store below the Lutheran Church. Old timers wii recognize the old civic center that no longer exist. The Norby building was the only building totally over water on the water side of Water Street . It no longer stands.

The famous tunnel is the only tunnel with a road around it. The tunnel was built to widened the road while preserving the houses above it including the mayor’s house.

The pizza mill and the infamous Marine Bar are depicted on the right side of Water street.

The curve features the cold storage dock used to store fishing gear.
