Tongass National Forest| Northernmost Rainforest in the World | Love Nature
We filmed this amazing footage in the Tongass National Forest, the largest protected rainforest in the United States and the northernmost rainforest in the world. The forest includes most of Alaska’s panhandle near the top of the earth.
In this short nature documentary, we explore how it’s possible that a rainforest exists this close to the top of the Earth. In a place once covered in ice, not much soil was left behind after the glaciers receded. But trees with a rare ability to pump nitrogen into the ground supply life to the rainforest. Drenched in fog, mist, and rain, precipitation hangs heavy in the air. Alaska’s biodiversity of plant life is living testament to the health of the air, water, and soil in Tongass National Forest.
We float magically through the understory as state-of-the-art dactylcam flies us past rainforest ferns in this gorgeous aerial photography. We take a scenic tour through the ancient old growth forest of the Tongass, where 200-foot trees live over 800 years. See the assortment of life that’s sustained when these mighty trees finally fall to the forest floor. They continue to enrich the rainforest and prompt the cycle of growth to begin again, including species as varied as coastal brown bears, bald eagles, and salmon

State Capitals Song
State Capitals Song by
This song is intended to help children memorize the state capitals of the 50 states of America.
The capitals of the United States are expected to be learned by all American school children. We have deliberately tried to cycle through the states in a fairly obvious geographical order -- with a few small jumps to enable the lyrics to have a nice rhyme and rhythm.
We have set the lyrics to what we hope is catchy but unobtrusive music to aid in the memorization process.
Even for children and adults who don't live in the USA, an awareness of the 50 capital cities and states is an advantage.
Please feel free to give us any feedback with regards to pronunciation of the capitals and states in the comments section. As will be clear from a quick listen we are not actually from America, but we hope that each state and capital city has been pronounced correctly -- despite not being said with an American accent!

My name is Lisa Murkowski. I am a 3rd generation Alaskan. My mom was born in Nome and both of my parents grew up in Ketchikan. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve Alaskans in the U.S. Senate since 2003. I am the first U.S. Senator to be born in Alaska and only the 32nd woman to have served in the Senate since its founding in 1787.
I was born in Ketchikan when my Dad was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard. My five siblings and I were raised in Wrangell, Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks. I graduated from Monroe High School in Fairbanks and then went on to get an economics degree at Georgetown University. My summer jobs ranged from scooping ice cream to working at a pipeline construction camp.
I received my law degree from Willamette College of Law in 1985 and returned to Anchorage to practice commercial law. It was there that I met and married my husband, Verne Martell. Verne has owned and operated his own small business, manufacturing pasta, since 1987. We have two sons, Nic and Matt, both born in Anchorage, who were raised to love the outdoors and are serious skiers, fishermen and hunters. Nic is currently attending law school and Matt is working with Verne to take over the family business in Anchorage.
I have long been an active member of my community serving as PTA president of my sons’ elementary school, as a member of the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission, the Homeless Task Force and the boards of several charitable organizations. In 1998, I was elected to the State House of Representatives where I served for three terms before joining the U.S. Senate in 2003. In 2010, I was reelected in a historic write-in campaign – only the second successful write-in campaign for United States Senate in history.
My love for Alaska, the Alaska outdoors, and our way of life is as big as the state itself. I am a winter enthusiast, an avid skier, and I believe the Iditarod is the greatest sporting event in the world. I am a skilled sport fisherman and have the fish in the freezer to prove it. My favorite activities are hiking, fishing, hunting and boating in this amazing place we call home. Alaska is my home and my inspiration. Always.

Contrasts in Glacial and Non-Glacial Rivers
Researchers from the University of Alaska Southeast are studying how rivers and aquatic habitat are affected by the thinning and receding glaciers in Southeast Alaska. Glacial flour, rock that is ground up by the sliding glaciers, affects water clarity by limiting sunlight penetration and thereby regulating biological activity. Glacial fed rivers such as the Mendenhall River supply consistently cold and abundant water throughout the summer, which is also important for salmon habitat. Non-glacial fed rivers can experience warmer water and reduced flows during the summer which can be limiting to the salmon life cycle.
