Permafrost and Salmon Eggs

Here we are with a bag full of salmon roe. Darlene makes some excellent caviar out of them. It's a bit salty, but nice on a bagel with cream cheese.



This is what permafrost looks like. It's amazing to be able to see the distinct frozen layer on the cliffs. Above and below the icey layer are layers of peat moss with a unique earthy smell.

As the river erodes away the banks, the permafrost is exposed. Sometimes they find wooly mammoths, with hair and everything, in the banks. According to my dad, sometimes they eat the mammoths. Who they is is a mystery, but they probably died.
