Sunday We Climbed the Mountian

Gambell is located on the Northern tip of St. Lawrence Island. It is also located on a giant gravel spit hence Gravel Boulevard. Located just behind the school is this "mountain" that we climbed. 

We are at the base of the mountain now about a mile outside of town.

The shed in the foreground of this picture is where the previous picture was taken. We were about a third of the way up right now. It was such a cool view! 

We are still climbing!

This is where the mountain leveled out a bit by no means was it the top!

It's VERY hard to see in this picture but just above the water, yeah, that's Russia!

Ty and I catching our breath!

The view a little farther up!


Russia!

Zooming in on the school, my classroom is on the far right second to the last window!

It's a Whale!! Just kidding, it's a plane taking off!

I believe those are people..
