South part of Kodiak is tundra looking (typical Bristol Bay area looking) vegetation (see below). Most of the hill has not much sediments and bedrocks are exposed!

However, around Kodiak city has rich coastal rain forest!

Moss covered forest floor is so beautiful and matching with rainy weather!

Forest site has rich organic layered sediments but also volcanic ash (Katmai tephra 1912) is usufull indicator key bed.

I installed frost tube at Kodiak Christian School and students have very good manner and many sharp questions.
