Most of the hike was along the tundra on beautiful and gradual ridges
Near Adelie Pt looking out the Turnagain Arm towards the West
Plenty of mountain goats on this ridge. We must have seen 20 goats spread out all along the ridge. The goats are fairly shy, so getting close enough for a good picture is difficult.
Halfway along the ridge is the remains of a surveyors camp with lots of cable, snow fences and trash.
NE to SE panorama with Adelie Point in the center. From NE to SE are Pkea 5030, Bird Peak (partially in the clouds), Peak 4740, Gentoo peak (center distance), and Adelie Point.
