Pictures were sent to me my Barb Hawes whose husband was driving through Glacier Bay National Park and came upon this dead cat and dead ram. Looks like the cat was chasing it and they both went right off the cliff. The fall broke the rams horn off!

The church in Dutch Harbor is the oldest orthodox church in North America, construction beginning in 1825. When the Russians first came to Unalaska Island they enslaved the Aleuts who lived there. Father John Veniaminov, canonized as St. Innocent after his death, built the church with redwoods brought from California by the Russian American Fur Company. He also argued for the fair treatment of the Aleuts.
