P7244866 On one field trip on the northern cobble beach we saw some sea lions and a sleepy sea otter. P7244866
P7264984 As the humidity gets higher the fumaroles at the summit can steam more vigorously. P7264984
P7295033 On the last couple days on the island we got some other views of Uliaga (left) and Kagamil (right), as well as... P7295033

P8015087 (August 1, 2004 to August 2, 2004) The day we got picked up was just as bad as the day we got dropped off on the island. The fishing boat F/V Miss Alyssa picked us up from the island. Once on the boat, we had some food before we got underway. We took a route that went north of Uliaga, which showed us the signs of many rock slides down the steep slopes. P8015087
P8015104 After we were just north of Uliaga the high seas hit us. The weather clouds looking back towards Kagamil Island (left) and Chuginadak Island (right) were pretty cool. Since the seas were pretty heavy (14-16 foot seas) during most of the route back, I went to sleep. P8015104
P8025109 I woke up as we were just north of Unmak Island where Okmok Caldera is located. P8025109
P8025111 This was just at sunset, so I got a couple great shots of the sky at the time... P8025111
P8025113 ...and the next one just after the sun went down. P8025113
P8025114 The next day, we arrived back in Dutch Harbor at about 7:00 AM. The sunrise was also pretty awesome as we were entering port. P8025114
P8025115 After we were back on land, and back to one of the hotels for the wait to return home, I took another shot of the sunrise over Dutch Harbor. (August 3, 2004 to August 7, 2004) The last part of the trip was spent in Dutch Harbor waiting to take a plane to fly over Mt. Cleveland's summit. The weather never really cooperated with us, so it never happened. The weather also prevented me from getting out of Dutch Harbor on August 4th, so I had to wait on standby till the 6th to leave Dutch Harbor. The weather factor is always a problem in the Aleutians.
