Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park

Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, also known as the Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site, is an Alaska state park on Kodiak Island, Alaska. It includes 182 acres (74 ha) of land at the end of Miller Point, located on the eastern shore of Kodiak Island northeast of the city of Kodiak. The park, established in 1969, is noted for its historical World War II fortifications and its scenery, which includes bluffs overlooking the ocean, spruce forests, and meadows. The site was named in honor of the early Alaska explorer and United States Army officer Lt. Col. William R. Abercrombie. The fortifications, whose surviving elements include gun emplacements, underground magazines, and foundational remnants of buildings, were built in 1941 and abandoned after the war ended, having seen no action. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and was included in the National Historic Landmark designation of the Kodiak Naval Operating Base and Forts Greely and Abercrombie in 1985. Park facilities include a campground (best suited for tent camping as the park's narrow and winding roads make RV access difficult), a group camping area, a picnic area, and hiking trails. Kodiak Military History Museum The Kodiak Military History Museum is a private military museum located in Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park. The museum is located in the restored Ready Ammunition bunker on Miller Point.

Der Fourpeaked-Gletscher ist ein kalbender Gletscher im Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska, USA.Er bedeckt einen Großteil des Fourpeaked Mountain, auch bekannt als Fourpeaked Volcano. Durch den Gletscher verlaufen Lavaströme. Lage Der Gletscher liegt im Katmai-Nationalpark. Gletscherentwicklung In den 1950er Jahren und bis 1987 gab es am Fourpeaked Glacier einen sehr starken Rückgang des Eises. Zwischen 1987 und 2000 stabilisierte sich das Eis wieder. Name Der Name leitet sich vom Fourpeaked Mountain (Viergipfeliger Berg) ab. Er wurde vom US-amerikanischen Geograph George Davidson aus der russischen Bezeichnung Г. Четырёхглавая G[ora] Tschetyrjochglawaja übersetzt, die „vierköpfiger Berg“ bedeutet und 1852 von Michail Dmitrijewitsch Tebenkow veröffentlicht wurde.

Greater Friendship Baptist Church

Greater Friendship Baptist Church is a Baptist church in Anchorage, Alaska. It is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The church property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. History Greater Friendship began with a revival led by the Rev. Charles Kennedy in 1951. The congregation was dedicated as Greater Friendship Baptist Church on June 22, 1951. The original congregation of 32 believers grew to more than a hundred within a few weeks. After months of services at First Baptist Church of Anchorage, AK, the congregation moved services to Pioneer Hall on 6th Avenue and F Street. From there, the congregation moved to 12th Avenue and Cordova Street in 1952. That same year, the church purchased the current church site at 13th Avenue and Ingra Street. Members built a church on the site, meeting in the concrete basement while the structure above was completed. In October 1952, Rev. Kennedy, the founding pastor, dedicated the first, wooden church building. That original church structure burned in 1953. The new and current building opened in 1955 and was partially constructed from materials recovered from First Baptist, which also burned down in 1953. Greater Friendship was the first African-American church established in Alaska. Greater Friendship also was the first modern African-American church to affiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The inclusion and acceptance of Greater Friendship marked a shift in SBC policies, which had for decades excluded minorities and promoted white superiority. Additional African-American churches followed Greater Friendship in affiliating with the SBC. First, Community Baptist of Santa Rosa, CA joined the SBC shortly after Greater Friendship, and two more black churches in Austin, TX joined in 1954. In 1965, Greater Friendship pastor Rev. Leo Josey, Jr. became the first African-American pastor to represent Southern Baptists at a state level when he was unanimously elected second vice-president of that year's Alaska Baptist Convention. The original church mortgage was paid off in 1974, and the congregation celebrated with a mortgage burning. From late 1976 through late 1977, the church building was significantly remodeled. The entrance was moved from the south wall to its current location at the southeast corner. Rev. Charlie Dargan rededicated the church on October 2, 1977. References External links Official website

Georgeson Botanical Garden

The Georgeson Botanical Garden is located at 117 West Tanana Drive on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. The five-acre garden hosts a variety of research and educational programs in subarctic horticulture. It is open to the public during daylight hours, May through September, for a fee. It is part of the Alaska Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. The garden was named after Charles Christian Georgeson, who was USDA Special Agent in Charge of Alaska Investigations in 1899. Dr. Georgeson arrived in Alaska during the Gold Rush to research the possibilities for agriculture in Alaska. He surveyed the land near Fairbanks and started the Fairbanks Experiment Farm. A portion of the land was later annexed for use as the first campus of the University of Alaska. Research at the garden involves a variety of plants including annual flowers, vegetables and perennial ornamentals with an emphasis on Alaska native plants. A ten-year effort begun in 2001 to explore the possibility of exporting fresh cut flowers has led to a small industry centered on peonies. Flowers have been exported to retail and wholesale markets since 2007. Because of Alaska's northern environment, many flowers bloom later than other regions, providing a competitive advantage on world markets. Research results are available on the GBG website. Research also emphasizes domestication and management of wild stands especially of Alaska wild blueberries and lingonberries.

Highland Academy Charter School

Highland Academy Charter School (formerly Highland Tech High School) is a competency-based school in Anchorage, Alaska in the Anchorage School District. It is a charter school whose focus is a learning approach in which all students must demonstrate proficiency in a selection of standards. It was the first standards-based school in the Anchorage School District (ASD) and had its first graduating class on May 31, 2006. Highland Academy is a member of the Reinventing Schools Coalition, which is a division of Marzano Resources. Highland Academy draws its student population from all over the municipality of Anchorage. The curriculum holistically supports a more modern approach to learning, incorporating standards in career development and technology, as well as social, public service, and personal learning. Social-emotional learning is embedded into curriculum in a variety of ways. All students are part of an advisory team where academic coaching, goal setting, team building, and parent connections are focused. Highland Academy was formerly known as Highland Tech High and Highland Tech Charter School. ILP Forms and C.O.R.E. Students may choose one or more standards and create an activity or project that addresses these standards. The process is designed to allow flexibility in the learning environment to support anytime, anywhere learning opportunities for students and teaches them critical communication skills as they work with teachers who support their work. Highland's model for mutual respect is called C.O.R.E. (Culture of Respect for Everyone). The model is designed to engage all stakeholders in an environment of respect. This includes teachers, parents, students, and administrators. To reinforce a culture of respect, Highland uses a conflict resolution tool (the C.O.R.E. form), which encourages both parties to provide their perspective. Highland Academy also celebrates respect on a regular basis through the SuperCORE process.

For example, in 2016 the graduating class consisted of three juniors (all of whom were recipients of the UA Jr Scholars Award) and three fifth-year seniors who benefited from having extra time. These students do not count towards the overall yearly graduation rate and account for misrepresentative data. The majority of students who do not graduate in the expected semester continue on at Highland to complete their graduation requirements .

Monument national Misty Fiords

Le monument national des Misty Fiords (anglais : Misty Fiords National Monument) est un Monument national des États-Unis d'Amérique situé à l'extrémité sud de l'Alaska dans la forêt nationale de Tongass, à l'est de la ville de Ketchikan. Ce monument proclamé en 1978 a une taille de 9 286 km2. De cette superficie, 8 672,03 km2 a été reconnu comme réserve intégrale dans la Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness. Il est administré par le service des forêts des États-Unis. Description John Muir a comparé la région à la vallée de Yosemite pour une géologie et une morphologie glaciaire similaires. En face de la rivière Salmon et du canal de Portland et de la colonie de Hyder, de petits glaciers occupent les hauteurs de la partie nord-est du monument. Les glaciers Soule et Through couvrent les hauts plateaux et les vallées des monts Lincoln et Seward, où l'un des sommets culmine à 1 900 m d'altitude. La plupart des sommets du monument se situent dans une plage d'altitude comprise entre 1 200 et 1 500 m. La limite des arbres (épinettes, cèdres, épicéas) est généralement d’environ 800 m. La faune, abondante, comprend à la fois les grizzlis et les ours noirs, de nombreuses espèces de saumons, des baleines, des chèvres de montagne et des cerfs. Accès En raison de l’éloignement de la région, la plupart des visiteurs arrivent par bateau ou par avion de Ketchikan ou de Juneau, en Alaska. Les voyageurs les plus aventureux choisissent un service d’affrètement d’une nuit ou passent des journées à explorer en kayak.

Geografia fisica Il parco si presenta come una moltitudine intricata di scogliere, fiordi ripidi e pareti di roccia alte fino a 900 metri sul mare. Il clima è molto umido (spesso le pareti ricche di cascate sono avvolte nella foschia e nella nebbia) con frequenti precipitazioni piovose (oltre 381 cm di pioggia ogni anno). La fauna locale è caratterizzata dalla presenza di orsi bruni e neri, capre di montagna, cervi, aquile dalla testa bianca e moltissimi mammiferi marini. Caratteristico, all'entrata del parco, è il "New Eddystone Rock" un pilastro di basalto che emerge solitario dal mare. Turismo Le varie zone del parco possono essere raggiunte da Ketchikan o in aereo (idrovolanti) o tramite crociere organizzate su catamarani di uno o più giorni.

Misty Fjords National Monument

Het Misty Fjords National Monument, ook Misty Fiords National Monument is een federaal beschermd natuurgebied in Ketchikan Gateway Borough, in de Alaska Panhandle van de Amerikaanse staat Alaska. Het is een op 1 december 1978 door president Jimmy Carter erkend nationaal monument. Van de nationale monumenten is het 9.283,8 km² grote natuurgebied het monument met de grootste landoppervlakte. Misty Fjords is gelegen in het Tongass National Forest, het grootste National Forest van de Verenigde Staten. Het werd en wordt, onder meer door John Muir, het Yosemite van het Noorden genoemd vanwege zijn vergelijkbare geologie, bevat het ook een molybdeenafzetting, mogelijk de grootste dergelijke mineraalafzetting ter wereld. In het gebied zijn sporen van zowel tektonische als vulkanische activiteit. Overal in het monument is licht gekleurd graniet, ongeveer 50 tot 70 miljoen jaar oud (tijdperk van het Eoceen tot het Krijt), dat is gebeeldhouwd door gletsjers die diepe U-vormige troggen hebben ingesneden, vele gevuld met zeewater. De bijna vertikale wanden rijzen tot 900 m boven het wateroppervlak uit, en gaan verder tot 300 m onder de zeespiegel. Berggeiten leven in de hogere delen, terwijl herten, grizzly- en andere bruine maar ook zwarte beren ook vaak voorkomen. In het water meerdere soorten zalmen en walvissen. De fauna wordt gedomineerd door de westelijke hemlockspar, de sitkaspar en de reuzenlevensboom die samen een gematigde regenwoud vormen. Het gebied werd voor het eerst geëxploreerd door Europeanen toen George Vancouver in 1793 door Behm Canal voer, de zeeëngte die het monument scheidt van Revillagigedo Island. De afgelegen locatie maakt dat het monument beperkte toeristische aandacht krijgt, veelal via passerende cruiseschepen of vluchten over of naar het gebied, al dan niet met watervliegtuigen. De meest gekende, pittoreske fjorden zijn Walker Cove, Rudyerd Bay en Punchbowl Cove.
