ARCTIC GEOLOGIC FAULT LINE—

After winning a 72 hour, fly-anywhere-free trip from Continental Airlines, I recently found myself in Alaska.

The bush pilot who was taking me across the Cook Inlet West of Anchorage to see glaciers calving from the Alaska Range left me fly his airplane to shoot this picture.

“This is a prime example of a geologic fault that is found around the entire ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’; just like the fault lines more commonly known in California,” he explained.

Actually, given the date you are reading this, you would be correct if you suspect this is instead--a picture of the ice beginning to melt around the edge of my pond just a few weeks ago.

Happy April fool’s Day!

That looks like the Palm Beach coast during the previous century.

It could also be the rim of my Margarita glass.
