Global Explorers of all ages contributed to our Daily Expedition Report in the form of haikus and other abbreviations of poetry. It was a diverse day of activities in the town of Wrangell, from a hike up Mount Dewey, to a jet boat excursion up the Stikine River, to a walk on the beach to view ancient petroglyphs, to a mosey through a bog, to a cultural visit at the Chief Shake House. The diversity of Alaska continues to amaze.
Rock Bears
Granite bears stay still.
Keep looking for rocks that walk,
Lumbering on shore.

Cold wet drippy ice
It melts outside of my room
It is from glaciers

Covered with powdered sugar…
What is for dessert?
