Tom,
I just got home from my summer vacation... catching up on your journals and images... they are great! You mentioned that the Pribs are sometimes called the Galapagos of the North... from the looks of your pictures I would agree. When I was down south in '06 we were amazed at the sea birds and sea lions too. (I am sure that the seal rookery does not smell much different in the North than at the equator!)
Do you know much of the geology of the Pribs? It looks as if the sea clifs are a basalt type rock. Is this a volcanic region like some of the other Alaskan isalnds? Do you know how old thes islands are?
Keep the great pictures coming!
Tim
