Tour of the Pacific Coast - part 3: More Aleutians

Postby Harold » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:35 pm

continued from part 2


As soon as I flew over Segula Island I could already see Khvostov and Davidov Island, also part of the Rat Island Archipelago.
They were hidden under a very nice layer of mist. In the distance the Little Sitkin Volcano is just peaking through the clouds.

Image


Just past Davidov Island is Little Sitkin Island, which houses a very nice little harbour and landing strip.

Image


Unfortunately the scenery is made for Flight Simulator 2002 so it's coordinates are a little off.
Still I managed to take this shot which came out pretty nice.

Image


Moving on to the next island; Semisopochnoi (which is Russian for "Seven Hills"), the largest volcano of the western Aleutian Islands.
The island consists of seven volcanic peaks that form a ring around an older 8 km wide caldera.

Image


Approaching the twin-peaked - 1221 meter high - Anvil Peak ... the highest point located on the northside of the island.

Image


Turning south-east towards Amatignak Island, part of the Delarof Islands

Image


And just a couple of miles further I discovered what seemed to be an abandoned seaplane base.
They even had a helipad! Unfortunately I didn't have any floats under the plane.

Image


I wonder what happened to this ship ...

Great shots again Harold, keep 'em coming [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Nice to see somebody else linking shots with information about the real area aswell, I think it adds another dimension to the trip for people who want to know.

Cheers,

TSC.

These three sets have been very enjoyable and I will try to get in to follow your tour!  Makes me nostalgic for the 'old days' and that old Ivan Denisovitch story I intended to continue and never did.... :)
