Ahwinona and his hunting group came upon 13 caribou near the mouth of a Seward Peninsula river and bagged 11 of them under the “strict” guidance of the elder.

 Weather stations for Seward, Alaska Peninsula schools part of grant program | AlaskaReport.com
Greg Finstad and his crew with the University of Alaska's Reindeer Research Project had endured a rough day on Alaska's Seward Peninsula, driving 65 bumpy miles to the village of Teller only to find the wind blowing so hard that they couldn't launch a boat on Grantley Harbor to help out a reindeer herder.
Here, a researcher in the field was using one of the weather stations installed by our crew from the Geophysical Institute, and he'd check the wind speed with it the next day to see if he and his crew would make the drive back to Teller.
Hopefully by the end of this summer we'll have weather stations installed in all the schools on the peninsula (and on St. Lawrence Island), and when all the science teachers get back this fall they'll be able to use the stations with their students.
