This has been the
most independant site yet. Once I showed the students how to
use the equipment, they were able to take charge of all the
photos. They are working on a page layout for their own
website at this point using these photos and many more they
have taken and will take!
The
students preparing for their walk around
Kipnuk.
Kipnuk's
old school is now used as a city office
building.
Kipnuk
was under flood conditions just a couple weeks ago.
Many of the roads are still a bit muddy.
Check
this out!

zoom feature.
As
in most of our delta villages, Kipnuk has many
boardwalks that allow for easy travel on foot,
bike, or fourwheeler. The larger the site, the more
boardwalk - Kipnuk has 'em beat! Great
walking!

Kipnuk's harbor.
This
is one of the many fishing boats found around
Kipnuk.
During
the flood, this entire area was coverd with
water.
They say it was the highest level of flood
waters they had in years!
Kipnuk
is one of the largest and most beautiful sites
along our coast!
You can see quite a variety of wildlife at any
given moment in Kipnuk.
We saw a couple of short-eared owls during our
walk!
The
tundra turns from vivid green as we see it in the
summertime to a variety of beautiful fall colors
over night out here. It won't be long before the
snow falls now
Where
are the trees? This wood pile is made of drift
wood.
