    Even without an Apple Vision Pro capable of viewing this above spacial video in 3D, the iPhone 15 rendered an impressive sharable YouTube Video in its own right.

    Thousands of soap bubbles fly in the air as the excited children find themselves immersed in a fantasy of Bubblemania.

    Located within sight of Anchorage, Alaska, Point Possession lies on the north side of Kenai Peninsula with the waters of Turnagain Arm separating the two. In this video it appears as the point of land jutting into the sea.

    It was here in June of 1778, some two years after the United States was formed having declared Independence from England, that England established a new claim to land that would ultimately become part of the United States. It wasn't until 1799 that Russia began to establish a fur hunting presence in Alaska followed by their enforcement of sovereignty even though England's claim was first.

    To make the claim the British Flag was hoisted on Point Possession along with a formal claiming ceremony and the burial of relics of the realm which included British coins. Captain Cook was responsible for the naming of Point Possession as such.

    Today Point Possession is part of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge under the ownership of the U.S. Government. The adjoining land is dotted by many lakes as can be seen in the video. (There are canoe trails in the refuge and as a Boy Scout I traversed nine miles on them as we portaged our canoes from one lake to another while battling hoards of mosquitoes.)

    Here are added photos taken today beginning with a ground view from the airplane as it takes off to reach the point where the above video was taken. The sunset view of Point Possession as seen from Anchorage's Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area Park's observation platform is located just under the setting sun.

    While it took Captain Cook almost a year and a half to reach Hawaii from Point Possession, I made the journey in six hours. The final photo depicts my arrival in the Sandwich Islands as Hawaii was originally named after his benefactor Earl of Sandwich by the good Captain.

    Ironically Captain Cook's naming of Point Possession survives to this day while his naming of Sandwich Islands didn't.
