Sunday's Snow Covered Mountain Views:

Denali

Foraker

Susitna

Spurr

Chugach

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.

A Day Later:

STUDEBAKER V-10 Zip

On this crisp mid November morning as filmed yesterday the winter sun is seen casting a golden glow over the peaks of Alaska’s Chugach Range as captured from my Anchorage home.

In this video one experiences a panoramic view of the mountains as the camera pans across the expansive Chugach Mountain Range that defines Anchorage Alaska’s eastern edge.

A Blazing Sky emanating from the Morning Sun’s emergence contrasts with the snow capped mountain peaks of the Chugach Mountains which border Anchorage Alaska. This video was filmed concurrently with the above linked video from a higher vantage point.

This video also captures a surreal sunrise scene enhanced by silhouetted Spruce Trees.
