Lago Grouse

Il lago Grouse (in inglese: Grouse Lake in inglese - tradotto in italiano: "lago del gallo cedrone") è un piccolo lago di origine glaciale che si trova nella Penisola di Kenai (Alaska) a pochi chilometri da Seward. Etimologia Il nome è apparso per la prima volta in una documentazione del United States Geological Survey del 1906 riportato (da un nome locale) dal cartografo Moffit. Geografia fisica Il lago, più lungo che largo (620 metri per 140 metri), si trova all'estremità occidentale della Foresta Nazionale di Chugach. È (più o meno) vicino ad un gruppo di laghi di origine glaciale: lago Tern, lago Crescent, lago Kenai, lago Grant, lago Ptarmigan, lago Lower Trail, lago Upper Trail, lago Cooper e il lago dell'Orso; quest'ultimo è praticamente dal lato opposto dell'autostrada Seward. L'abitato più vicino è la città di Seward a circa 10 chilometri di distanza. Il lago è circondato da diversi monti, non molto alti e tutti appartenenti al gruppo montuoso del Kenai (Kenai Mountains): "Mt. Ascension" 60°15′32″N 149°29′48″W60°15′32″N, 149°29′48″W; "Paradise Peak" 60°16′02″N 149°11′34″W60°16′02″N, 149°11′34″W; e dal ghiacciaio "Bear Lake Glacier" 60°10′04″N 149°15′56″W60°10′04″N, 149°15′56″W. Pesca e turismo In questo lago si può pescare la trota Salvelinus malma (Dolly Varden). Da dicembre a aprile è possibile praticare la pesca su ghiaccio. Accessi e centri abitati Il lago è costeggiato dall'autostrada Seward (Seward Highway) tra Anchorage e Seward (ma non si vede dall'autostrada). È accessibile dalla strada "Grouse Lake Road" (collegata direttamente all'autostrada Seward).

It is owned by the U.S. Government. History Point Spencer Air Force Base was constructed in World War II by the United States Army Air Forces. The runway was installed with Pierced Steel Planking runway. Around 1948, the base was closed and mothballed. It was thought that the Russians were using the airfield, so in 1950, a team of army engineers were deployed from a C-47 Skytrain to destroy the remaining hangars and buildings. The Pierced Steel Planking was dismantled, and the buildings were demolished and burnt. Port Clarence Coast Guard Station In 1961, a survey was conducted to construct the Coast Guard's LORAN Station Port Clarence, located south of the former airfield. Shortly afterwards in 1963, the Port Clarence Coast Guard Station airfield was established on the location of the former air base. Facilities and aircraft Port Clarence Coast Guard Station has one runway designated 16/34 with a 4,500 × 120 ft (1,372 × 37 m) asphalt pavement.

Portage Lake (Alaska)

Der Portage Lake ist ein See glazialen Ursprungs in Alaska 70 km östlich von Anchorage. Der 5,3 km² große See befindet sich auf einer Höhe von 36 m am Ansatz der Kenai-Halbinsel. Er trennt die nördlich gelegenen Chugach Mountains von den südlich und östlich des Sees gelegenen Kenai Mountains. Die Längsausdehnung in Südost-Nordwest-Richtung beträgt 5 km, die Breite 1,3 km. Am Südostufer des Sees endet der Portage-Gletscher. Die Gletscher Burns und Byron speisen ebenfalls den See. Am Nordufer mündet der Placer Creek in den Portage Lake. Der Portage Creek entwässert den See nach Westen zum Turnagain Arm. Die Portage Glacier Road zweigt vom Seward Highway nach Osten ab und führt am Portage Lake vorbei nach Whittier. Der See gehört zum Chugach National Forest. Am nordwestlichen Seeufer befindet sich der Begich Boggs Visitor Center, der einen Ausblick über den See bietet. Aufgrund des Rückzugs des Portage-Gletschers wächst die Wasserfläche des Portage Lake beständig. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Portage Lake (Alaska)

Portage Lake is a glacial lake in the Chugach National Forest of the U.S. state of Alaska. It sits in a long, heavily glaciated valley, and abuts the calving face of Portage Glacier at its southern end. The lake has only become visible since approximately 1914, with the rapid retreat of Portage Glacier. Access and recreation The western shore of Portage Lake is easily accessed via a large parking lot at the lakeside Begich, Boggs Visitor Center, just off the Portage Glacier Highway. (The Center was named after Congressmen Nick Begich and Hale Boggs, who were killed in a 1972 plane crash.) Portage Glacier Cruises operates a short glacier cruise, which takes visitors near the face of the glacier. Recreational boating in the lake was illegal in the past, due to rolling icebergs and the calving face of Portage Glacier at the far end of the lake, but is now legal, though proper precautions must be taken for the challenging conditions. During winter and spring, the lake is a popular destination for cross-country skiing, kite skiing, mountain biking, skating, snowshoe running, and hiking. The "crust skiing" of mid spring is especially prized by skiers. Skiers must take appropriate precautions near Portage Glacier, as the constant movement of the glacier's calving face breaks up even thick lake ice and can create patches of open water or unstable ice near the glacier's face, even in midwinter. Fatalities and incidents Its low temperature year-round makes Portage Lake a potentially dangerous locale for swimming or other water activities. July 2012. Utah resident Levi Matheson Taylor saved an Anchorage resident from drowning after he attempted to swim 75 feet (23 m) to a gravel bar. October 2012.

Lac Portage

Le Lac Portage - en anglais : Portage Lake - est un lac glaciaire situé dans la forêt nationale de Chugach, dans l'État américain de l'Alaska. Il se trouve dans une longue vallée glaciaire et jouxte la face sud du glacier Portage, d'où son nom. Le lac n'est devenu visible que depuis 1914 environ, avec le recul rapide du glacier Portage. Accès et loisirs La rive ouest du lac Portage est facilement accessible via un grand parking, au Begich Boggs Visitor Center, juste à côté de la route du glacier (le centre a été nommé d'après les membres du Congrès Nick Begich et Hale Boggs, tués dans un accident d'avion en 1972). Portage Glacier Cruises propose une courte croisière sur le glacier, qui emmène les visiteurs près du front glaciaire. La navigation de plaisance sur le lac était autrefois illégale en raison des icebergs et du vêlage du glacier Portage à l'extrémité du lac, mais elle est désormais légale, même si des précautions doivent être prises pour les conditions difficiles. En hiver et au printemps, le lac est une destination populaire pour le ski de fond, le kitesurf, le VTT, le patinage, la course en raquettes et la randonnée. Le « ski sur croûte » du milieu du printemps est particulièrement prisé par les skieurs. Décès et incidents Sa basse température toute l'année fait du lac Portage un endroit potentiellement dangereux pour la baignade ou d'autres activités nautiques. Juillet 2012. Levi Matheson Taylor, un résident de l'Utah, a sauvé un résident d'Anchorage de la noyade après avoir tenté de nager à un banc de gravier. Octobre 2012.

Lago Portage

Il lago Portage (Portage Lake in inglese) è un lago a sud-est di Anchorage (Alaska, Stati Uniti). Storia I lago si trova all'interno della Foresta Nazionale di Chugach (Chugach National Forest) ed è diventato visibile solo dal 1914 circa, con il rapido ritiro del ghiacciaio Portage. Tra la fine dell'800 e l'inizio del 1900, il ghiacciaio terminava sulla terra all'estremità occidentale del lago Portage. Quindi il fronte del ghiacciaio ha iniziato a ritirarsi costantemente. Il ritiro iniziale del ghiacciaio coincise con il noto riscaldamento climatico associato alla fine della Piccola era glaciale (circa metà del XIX secolo). La recessione più rapida di circa 140-160 metri all'anno si verificò tra il 1939 e il 1950. La recessione continuò negli anni '70 e '80 fino alla fine del 1999 per un ritiro totale di quasi 5 chilometri. Attualmente la fronte del ghiacciaio sembra essersi fermata sulla linea del 1999. Geografia fisica Il lago, orientato nord-ovest/sud-est, è lungo circa 5 km con una larghezza media di circa 1 chilometro. È alimentato dalle acque del ghiacciaio Portage (Portage Glacier) e fornisce l'acqua per il fiume Portage (Portage Creek) che scorre lungo la Portage Valley e sfocia in testa alla baia di Turnagain (Turnagain Arm). Braccio di mare collegato alla baia di Cook (Cook Inlet) e quindi al Golfo dell'Alaska (Gulf of Alaska). Accessi Il lago si trova a 80 chilometri a sud-est da Anchorage. Il lago è accessibile tramite la Portage Glacier Highway () che si forma al miglio 78 (125,5 hm) dall'autostrada Seward che collega la cittadina di Seward con Anchorage. Dalla Portage Glacier Highway, che in realtà prosegue fino alle porte di Whittier, una strada privata di mezzo miglio (800 metri) conduce ad un ampio parcheggio presso il Begich Boggs Visitor Center sul lago; dopo un altro chilometro e mezzo si raggiunge un piccolo porticciolo dal quale la "Portage Glacier Cruises" gestisce una breve crociera verso il ghiacciaio, che porta 5 volte al giorno i visitatori vicino al ghiacciaio Portage. Turismo Oltre alla crociera sul ghiacciaio, descritta sopra, durante l'inverno e l'inizio della primavera, il lago è una destinazione popolare per lo sci da fondo, pattinaggio, "ciaspolate" e altre escursioni invernali. Ovviamente gli sciatori devono prendere le dovute precauzioni vicino al ghiacciaio di Portage, poiché il movimento costante della fronte del ghiacciaio rompe anche il ghiaccio del lago e può creare chiazze di acqua libera o ghiaccio instabile, anche in pieno inverno. Altre attività ricreative nei pressi del lago sono la pesca sportiva lungo il fiume "Portage Creek" e le escursioni nella omonima "Portage Valley" (Trail of Blue Ice e Byron Glacier View Trail).
