Mom moose and twins that were born yesterday and these photos were taken not long after their arrival. Photos by Choy Mears. So much adorableness! 💗 #Alaska#AlaskaWildlife#Moosetodon#MooseBabies
At a friend's house, a newborn moose calf got "stuck" under his truck (too afraid to move) and stayed there until mom returned. Calf climbed out from under the truck and happily followed mom down the road. So much preciousness this time of year! 💗 #Alaska#AlaskaWildlife#Moosetodon#MooseBabies
Interesting #Arctic reporting as always from Mia Bennet of Cryopolitics, this time on the temporary Israeli base that was built in US state of #Alaska to test defensive space missiles now being used in the #MiddleEast.
@Smithsonianmag reports: "Sixty years ago, the largest earthquake in U.S. history shocked geologists. It’s still driving scientific discoveries today."

A long, successful day getting the old engine out of the boat. Used a forklift and chain hoists to carefully lift it out of the engine bay and slide it out of the window just behind that yellow buoy. That was interesting 😉
Had a mama and calf moose right behind the boat for most of the afternoon supervising. #Alaska#BoatLife#Seward
Stunning Northern Lights from last night/early morning in North Pole, Alaska, where Santa Claus (seriously, I'm not kidding) lives. Photos by Maraya Kraft. #Alaska#AlaskaWinter#NorthernLights
