The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio,
but rather the complexity of the land organism.
Only those who know the most about it can appreciate how little we know about it.

Katmai’s Mount Griggs, August 2004 |
|
Mount Griggs soaring above our second camp
This is the south side of the mountain, and Knife Peak - the mountain’s highpoint -
is on the right summit
Acting as a graceful barrier to easy travel, you can see Knife Creek curving its way down the valley
between our camp and the volcano |

You can easily see Knife Peak - the mountain’s highpoint - on the eastern crater rim |
