Looking Back - Nome 1985
In July, 1985, we moved from Fairbanks to Nome.
The town is located on a series of raised beaches on the northern shore of Norton Sound. Here is Denny, looking out over the Sound from the vantage point of Anvil Mountain.
Anvil Mountain was noted at the time for the aging relics of the White Alice site on the peak. Here I pose with the antennas in the background.
Denny looking south toward town and the Sound.
The weathered rocks that underlie much of the landscape--and faint in the distance the low mass of Sledge Island.
We arrived in Nome at the beginning of a heat wave--high temperatures were in the seventies and even low eighties--but we could still find pockets of unmelted snow on the northern faces of the slopes.
