Alaska's northernmost major commercial center is
The town of fairbanks.
once a booming gold rush town, modern fairbanks
Still sits on alaska's frontier . It is the home of
The university of alaska; ; and a jumping off point
For activities in the roadless north. The university
is a research center for alaska's agricultural
and technological development , and the site of one
of the state's most prestigious museums.
the fairbanks museum houses
Elaborate displays on native indian and eskimo culture,
Wildlife, and technology. These exquisite examples of
ornate apparel were fashioned from the many natural
materials available to the alaskan native.
To the native american, every day objects were sacred,
And worthy of time consuming artistic embellishment.
The beauty and craftsmanship of the artifacts on display
Here reflect a world view that is as worthy of preserving
as the endangered species that once shared this great
Land with its first human inhabitants. Complementing
The native crafts, are displays of the fruits of
Man's labor in more recent times. One popular exhibit
Features the gleam of gold that brought men from all
over to seek their elusive fortunes.
The university also maintains a large animal research
Station where visitors can see musk-oxen, moose,
Caribou and deer from the public viewing platform.
creamer's field, located just outside of town
Offers 2 miles of nature trails and provides a
Sanctuary for migratory fowl.
A few miles north of fairbanks, you can drive right
Up to the great alaskan oil pipeline, one of the
Huge technological feats of modern times.
although the pipeline looks a little incongruous
winding its way through the wilderness landscape,
It was designed at a time when america was just
Awakening to the need for ecological preservation,
And it has many ecological safety features built
Into its design.
Portions of the pipeline are elevated
To allow the unimpeded migration of the caribou.
The pipeline is designed to slide on teflon sleds as
Changes in temperature cause it to expand and contract.
Expansion bumpers provide cushioning for these changes
And are part of the engineering features that assure
Structural integrity during an earthquake of up to 8.5
On the richter scale.
In order to keep the warm oil in
The pipeline from melting the permafrost below, the
Posts suspending the tube are actually fitted with
Refrigeration coils.
the high tech design of the pipeline is quite a contrast
To the old machinery displayed here in alaskaland's mining
valley.
This large theme park, built by the state of
Alaska and open to the public free of charge, also
Features a reconstruction of downtown fairbanks
During the goldrush days. These log houses were
Actually moved here from the old town center.
A ride on the miniature model steam train is
Popular with the kids, and is a good way to
Explore the park. For a longer trip into alaska's
Past, visitors board the steamboat discovery,
The last sternwheeler on the chena and tenana rivers.
The leisurely 4 hr excursion is run by the binkley
Family who have been piloting these riverboats for
Three generations.
A few miles north of fairbanks on 9 mile steese
Highway, another fascinating piece of alaskan history
Awaits. ..... The famous number 8 gold dredge.
This 5 story 250 foot rock eating monster took its
Last bite of this rich placer deposit in the late 50's.

University of Alaska Fairbanks: Naturally Inspiring
Ocean as a Lab: #OceanAcidification
As CO2 enters the ocean, it combines with seawater and carbonic acid is produced. The main concerns are that some of the organisms that live in the ocean will be negatively affected and affected in pretty dramatic ways. The #WholeOcean food chain could be affected at some point.
This is a Niskin bottle, and we're going to send it down to collect some water so that we can make some measurements of CO2.
We're at the Instituto del Mar del Peru, IMARPE. Now we're going to analyze the seawater for the total amount of CO2 that's in there.
So the syringe is essentially sucking a very precise amount of seawater into this system. We're adding some acid to it, so that all the CO2 becomes gas. We're then measuring the CO2, and this is the record that we've collected just very recently. The blue line shows us the CO2 in the ocean.
Here in Peru, the #CO2Level are just very, very high. And so we're actually seeing that here from the samples we collected. Part of that reason is because of upwelling of CO2-rich water. And when that water comes to the surface it has very high CO2. So studying what's happening here is kind of a window into what other places might look like twenty or thirty years from now.
We want to understand what impacts it might have on us. The CO2 problem is big, and scientists from all parts of the world have to collaborate on understanding that. Richard Feely from the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, he has been looking at how, as we pump CO2 into the ocean, that water's going to get less saturated in calcium carbonate.
Coral reefs would be the first ones to feel this effect, since they have structures that are made of calcium carbonate. And as the ocean acidifies, those structures would dissolve. There's a number of other small little animals that have the same material in their shells and they would be similarly affected.
We really don't know how CO2 is going to affect fisheries, IMARPE is the fisheries institute; they are responsible for keeping track of all of the stocks of fish that live in Peruvian water. It may be that it won't change things at all, or it may be catastrophic. The CO2 problem is not a local problem, it's a global problem. And I think we're entering a new era where scientists no longer can afford to just be curious about the world, but they also have to provide some insights.
It seems like, you know, we can roll the dice and say well maybe nothing will happen in the future, but nature has a way of putting us back in our place.

Alaska Fish and Game biologists gear up for annual caribou count
It's all about caribou this time of year for Nick Demma, a wildlife research biologist with Alaska's Department of Fish and Game. Every year, driven by insects pestering them, caribou seek relief together in massive herds, ranging from a few hundred, to tens of thousands by gathering on snow patches or finding a ridge line with a breeze.

Red tide: Massive, ‘incredibly thick’ toxic algae bloom in Pacific now stretches from California to Alaska
A vast bloom of toxic algae off the West Coast is denser, more widespread and deeper than scientists feared even weeks ago, according to surveyors aboard a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel.
This coastal ribbon of microscopic algae, up to 64 kilometres wide and 200 metres deep in places, is flourishing amid unusually warm Pacific Ocean temperatures. It now stretches from at least California to Alaska and has shut down lucrative fisheries. Shellfish managers on Tuesday doubled the area off Washington’s coast that is closed to Dungeness crab fishing, after finding elevated levels of marine toxins in tested crab meat.
So-called “red tides” are cyclical and have happened many times before, but ocean researchers say this one is much larger and persisting much longer, with higher levels of neurotoxins bringing severe consequences for the Pacific seafood industry, coastal tourism and marine ecosystems.
Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the area now closed to crab fishing includes more than half the state’s 252-km-long coast, and likely will bring a premature end to this year’s coastal crab season.
“We think it’s just sitting and lingering out there,” said Anthony Odell, a University of Washington research analyst who is part of a NOAA-led team surveying the harmful algae bloom, which was first detected in May. “It’s farther offshore, but it’s still there.”
The survey data should provide a clearer picture of what is causing the bloom which is brownish in colour, unlike the blue and green algae found in polluted freshwater lakes. Marine detectives already have a suspect: a large patch of water running as much as 3 degrees centigrade warmer than normal in the northeast Pacific Ocean, nicknamed “the blob.”
“The question on everyone’s mind is whether this is related to global climate change. The simple answer is that it could be, but at this point it’s hard to separate the variations in these cycles,” said Donald Boesch, professor of marine science at the University of Maryland who is not involved in the survey. “Maybe the cycles are more extreme in the changing climate.”
Domoic acid is harmful to people, fish and marine life. It accumulates in anchovies, sardines and other small fish as well as shellfish that eat the algae. Marine mammals and fish-eating birds in turn can get sick from eating the contaminated fish. In people, it can trigger amnesic shellfish poisoning, which can cause permanent loss of short-term memory in severe cases.
State health officials stress that seafood bought in stores is still safe to eat because it is regularly tested. While there have been no reports of human illnesses linked to this year’s bloom, authorities aren’t taking chances in fisheries with dangerous toxin levels.
California public health officials have warned against eating recreationally harvested mussels and claims, or any anchovy, sardines or crabs caught in waters off Monterey, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara counties. Other shellfish harvests are shut down along Oregon’s coast.
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth.
2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
You are just in these judgments, O Holy One,
you who are and who were;
6for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.

Sea Monster in Alaska CAUGHT on Video by U S Government ?
From Nessie making an appearance in Alaska, to the Russian's finding something extremely unsettling, this is Crypto Fun Friday !
While most people have to go searching for the Loch Ness Monster, a vacationer was fortunate enough to be gazing at the Loch … when Nessie simply popped her head out of the water … at least that’s the story we heard. A 28-year-old woman was on the balcony of her holiday home at Loch Ness when she saw a mysterious ripple on the surface, followed by a ‘blue thing’ swimming across. She grabbed her phone and managed to snap a few pictures … but when she tried to zoom in, the object disappeared. The woman claimed it’s not often one sees a monster while on holiday … but did she really see one?
Here’s another potential sea monster that was caught on video … this time in Russia. What appeared to be a huge, serpent-like object in remote Lake Turgoyak (tur-goy-ak) has people making the Nessie tie-ins. A kayaker said he spotted the mysterious object causing ripples on one area of the lake’s surface. The video footage shows large black rings that conceivably resemble the coils of a snake. While the kayaker claims the object appeared to be around 15 meters long and serpentine … he also conceded the ripples could have been caused by divers training. But as it turns out, no dive teams were swimming deep in that area of the lake on that day. Aside from the obvious comparison to Nessie, we couldn’t find that many theories about what this snakelike thing might have been … Care to give it a go?
Some of the clearest pictures of the Loch Ness Monster appeared earlier in 2016 … if it really was the legendary Nessie. An amateur photographer named Ian Bremner snapped the pictures that show a dark creature with a long, serpentine body bobbing along the surface of Loch Ness. The animal is estimated at around 2 meters long appears to have a tail, and and has a silvery sheen on its skin. Many sceptics point out that the animal’s head could be a seal, and the picture merely shows three of them playing in the water. But Mr Bremner has his believers … and they say the images closely resemble the most sharply focused examples of Nessie yet found.
Accounts of a sea monster have been documented since the 1800s in Barmouth, Wales when footprints as big as an elephant’s were found on the beach. Subsequent accounts described the creature’s appearance as similar to a crocodile’s. WItnesses who claimed to see the creature in broad daylight in 1975 described it as having a square face with a long neck and tail, and flippers. Earlier in 2016, the first-ever photograph of the legendary beast possibly surfaced.
Have you ever heard of the Morag (mor-rag)? It’s a Scottish sea monster that makes its home in Loch Morar (mora) … about 70 miles from Loch Ness. Stories of the creature date back to 1887 … and this cryptid is something of a paradox. It’s been described as having a beautiful, mermaid-like visage … but it’s also described as a demonic character whose presence was considered to portend death. According to folklore, the Morag can appear like a black heap that slowly rises in the water and moves along like a waterlogged boat. But more recent accounts describe it as a humped, serpentine creature, more along the lines of Nessie. The best known sighting occurred in 1969, when two men accidentally struck the creature with their boat.
Let’s head back to Russia for this one … At remote Lake Labynkyr (la-bink-er) in Siberia, a mysterious dark creature is said to inhabit the deep, icy waters. It’s called the 'Labynkyr (la-bink-er) Devil’ … and the lake it inhabits is so secluded that no one lives within a 100 mile radius. Except for an adventurer named Andrey Solovyez, who’s keeping a vigil there.. He’s braving temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius because he’s convinced he has proof of the creature’s existence -- his fishing nets were torn and shredded by something too powerful to be a fish. Reports of a Nessie-type creature have persisted in the region since the 19th century. And according to some scientists, sonar readings do indicate that at least one huge creature might lurk under the surface. Sightings analyzed by experts conclude the creature is up to 10 meters long, with a massive jaw that has a beaklike appearance and lots of teeth. Theories include the creature being a prehistoric marine reptile such as an ichthyosaurs (itch-thee-o-sore) or plesiosaur. Another possibility is the creature being a relic killer whale that was somehow marooned in the lake. For now, scientists still have no explanation for what the kind of animal it might be.

A PARK CLAIMS 7 STATES HAVE BEEN SEEN FROM HERE! IS THIS POSSIBLE ON A GLOBE?
The footage in this video was captured by D.R. Lee and his channel can be found here:
A huge thank you to the Father for working this out! Stop by and tell him and Dave thanks for their work and sharing it with us!
After uploading this video, I was looking for things on the Lookout Mountain site that verify VA being seen from Lookout Mountain, but from what I've gathered, there were only eye witness accounts from various viewing tools before the area industrialized and had cleaner air. However, there were no pictures that I could find as the mountains vanish behind the atmosphere/atmosplane and smog. Due to the topography of the area and the industrial revolution, Chattanooga TN became one of the most polluted places in the US as the surrounding mountains and ridges slow most pollution from blowing away like most places. This factor causes sight distances to be lower now, but I believe with the right tools and conditions the eye witness accounts could be verified with pictures. Infrared filters have yet to be used here and I don't know of anyone who has tried really hard to capture Cumberland Gap from here.
You can see from the footage in the video that the distant mountains weren't dropping below curve, but were instead vanishing into the sky as the atmosplane was hindering the view. I will share more info as I find it.
