It is fitting that on this Veterans' Day mountains of the Aleutian Arc should become magnified and manifest themselves - as it was in the Arc's Aleutian Islands of Kiska and Attu that United States Veterans engaged in the only battles of World War II on North American land during that conflict.
As captured today in the below linked video, unique atmospheric conditions magnify the distant Tordrillo Mountains of the Alaska Range creating a wall of ice mountains extending all the way from Anchorage Alaska’s International Airport’s departure runway over Point Woronzof to Mount Susitna.
Included Volcano Mount Spurr and adjacent Crater Peak, at over 11,000 feet, loom highest of all in this video taken on today's Veterans’ Day from the Anchorage shores of Cook Inlet some 80 miles distant from the wall of ice mountains.

Go inside and for $1 you get a thick bologna sandwich with a slice
of onion, a Moon Pie and an RC Cola. 25 cents change back.
