A convective storm on the coastal plain of Alaska
Historically, the coastal plain of Alaska has been characterized by cloudy or foggy conditions, with only limited summer rain. However, with increasing air temperatures, convective storms are becoming increasingly common.

Walrus rest on sea ice, Chukchi Sea, Alaska
Nearly all female walruses and their young migrate north through the Bering Strait with the seasonal retreat of sea ice. In the Chukchi Sea these walruses rest on sea ice as long as it is available. In most recent years, beginning in 2007, sea ice has disappeared from these offshore habitats and walruses have turned to shore to rest. USGS is studyi
