Turnagain Arm
We went looking for Dall Sheep and found some along the Seward Highway. It was late in the day sun-wise (but only 4 PM) and the tide was rushing in so I took this shot looking down the Seward Highway towards the end of Turnagain Arm, well past the peninsula of land jutting out from the left and extending far to the right in the image. The tidal variance on the Turnagain Arm is quite spectacular, similar to the Bay of Fundy on the East coast of Canada. Here it's beginning to cover the wet glacial till, a flour-like mixture, which has been deadly to those who wade out and get stuck in it.
Taken 15 November 2020 on the Seward Highway, outside Anchorage, Alaska.
