Looking down from our balcony:
This is where we will exit the ship. These guys are checking ID

Our tour guide told us this is the 'unofficial
ship's registry'. Whenever a ship
had docked here their insignia was painted on the rock wall.

Fireweed
Fireweed is found in meadows and woods throughout Alaska. It
is a tall plant, capable of growing up to 7 feet (2.1 meters).
The name Fireweed comes from this plants' ability to quickly regenerate
and grow in areas defoliated by fire.
The flowers are used to make honey or jelly, the leaves are edible,
and the inside of the stem is very nutritious.
When the top blooms, it means that summer is more or less over.
