Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende Images by John Schoen
Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) John Schoen and Scott Gende images by John Schoen Two hundred years ago, brown (also known as grizzly) bears were abundant and widely distributed across western North America from the Mississippi River to the Pacific and from northern Mexico to the Arctic (Trevino and Jonkel 1986). Following settlement of the west, brown bear populations south of Canada declined significantly and now occupy only a fraction of their original range, where the brown bear has been listed as threatened since 1975 (Servheen 1989, 1990). Today, Alaska remains the last stronghold in North America for this adaptable, large omnivore (Miller and Schoen 1999) (Fig 1). Brown bears are indigenous to Southeastern Alaska (Southeast), and on the northern islands they occur in some of the highest-density FIG 1. Brown bears occur throughout much of southern populations on earth (Schoen and Beier 1990, Miller et coastal Alaska where they are closely associated with salmon spawning streams. Although brown bears and grizzly bears al. 1997). are the same species, northern and interior populations are The brown bear in Southeast is highly valued by commonly called grizzlies while southern coastal populations big game hunters, bear viewers, and general wildlife are referred to as brown bears. Because of the availability of abundant, high-quality food (e.g. salmon), brown bears enthusiasts. Hiking up a fish stream on the northern are generally much larger, occur at high densities, and have islands of Admiralty, Baranof, or Chichagof during late smaller home ranges than grizzly bears. summer reveals a network of deeply rutted bear trails winding through tunnels of devil’s club (Oplopanx (Klein 1965, MacDonald and Cook 1999) (Fig 2). -

THE ASCENT OF MOUNT FAIRWEATHER by ALLEN CARPE We were returning from the expedition to Mount Logan in 1925. Homeward bound, our ship throbbed lazily across the Gulf of Alaska toward Cape Spencer. Between reefs of low fog we saw the frozen monolith of St. Elias, rising as it were sheer out of the water, its foothills and the plain of the Malaspina Glacier hidden behind the visible sphere of the sea. Clouds shrouded the heights of the Fairweather Range as we entered Icy Strait and touched at Port Althorp for a cargo of salmon; but I felt then the challenge of this peak which was now perhaps the outstanding un climbed mOUlitain in America, lower but steeper than St. Elias, and standing closer to tidewater than any other summit of comparable height in the world. Dr. William Sargent Ladd proved a kindred spirit, and in the early summer of 1926 We two, with Andrew Taylor, made an attempt on the mountain. Favored by exceptional weather, we reached a height of 9,000 feet but turned back Photo by Bradford Washburn when a great cleft intervened between the but tresses we had climbed and the northwest ridge Mount Fairweather from the Coast Range at 2000 feet of the peak. Our base was Lituya Bay, a beau (Arrows mark 5000 and 9000-foot camps) tiful harbor twenty miles below Cape Fair- s camp at the base of the south face of Mount Fair weather; we were able to land near the foot of the r weather, at 5,000 feet. -

The Ascent of Mt. St. Agnes, Chugach Range, Alaska 207
THE ASCENT OF MT. ST. AGNES, CHUGACH RANGE, ALASKA 207 THE ASCENT OF MT. ST. AGNES, CHUGACH RANGE, ALASKA BY BRADFORD WASHBURN DRING the months of May and June 1938 a small expedition was sent out by the Institute of Geographical Exploration of Harvard University to make a thorough reconnaissance of the Chugach mountains in the Alaska Coast . Range, and to attempt the ascent of Mt. St. Agnes (13,250 ft.), the highest peak in the group. The Chugaches are geologically a western prolongation of the St. Elias Range, much in the same way as the Fairweather Range is a southern offshoot of this massif. Sweeping in a jagged arc about the head of Prince William Sound, this rugged little range of mountains enjoys probably the most constantly diabolical weather on the entire North American Continent. An almost unbroken series of S.E. and S.W. storms, finding their origin in the Bering Sea area, deluges Prince William Sound with an annual rainfall of over 200 ins. This rainfall, converted into snow on the upper reaches of the Chugach Range, has resulted in one of the wildest and most rugged glacier systems in the world. On the S. or seaward side of the range, where this precipitation is heaviest, only a score of truly clear days occurs during the course of an entire year. On this side the mountains are particularly jagged on account of the heavy frost action due to the variable climate. The rock is dominantly schistose. In many cases its beds stand directly on end and, except under extraordinary conditions of drought, every platform and cranny in these great southerly cliffs is buried deep in fresh snow, or plastered with ice. -

West Chichagof Island
West Chichagof Province within the West Chichagof Wilderness or LUD II areas. Tertiary granodiorites on Yakobi Island and northwestern Chichagof grade to Cretaceous Sitka greywacke and mixed volcanics and metamorphics at the southeastern end. The Peril Strait/Lisianski Fault that nearly divides Chichagof lines up with the more active Fairweather Fault to the north. Volcanic ash from an ancient eruption of Mt. Edgecumbe to the south blankets much of the till-covered lowland underlying many of the distinctive coastal peatlands. Small, ocean-facing watersheds drained by relatively minor streams characterize the province. Black River (Fig 2) and the lake-fed stream at the head of Ford Arm are some highly productive exceptions. FIG 1. West Chichagof Province. With a dramatic and complex shoreline, West Chichagof is scenic but terrestrial ecosystems are relatively unproductive in this biogeographic province FIG 2. Black River is one of the most productive salmon (Fig 1). It is the third smallest island province and streams in West Chichagof Province.
