A view of Gambell

This is a shot of Gambell four miles south along the coast of Sivuqaq. Gambell is barley visiable to the west of the mountain in the picture. The "mountain" is really just a small plateau about 600 feet above level. Gambell is perched precipitously on the edge of the Bering Sea spread over a three three radius along a gravel spit. The west-facing aspect of the beach (where our housing is located) on the left of the picture, is constantly shifting and eroding from big waves and shore fast ice in the winter. This picture was taken in early September when I accompanied local freind on a seal hunt. I went with one other teacher on a trip that was designed as an overnighter at Wesley's seal camp.
