This panorama of upper Lituya Bay gives you the feel of the harsh, mountain and glacier country there. At both edges of the photo, it shows Desolation Valley--a long trench that separated the Fairweather Mountains from easier country to the seaward. This valley is also home to the Fairweather Fault, a major seam in the earth’s crust analogous to the San Andreas fault down in California. Photographer: Bill Eichenlaub
