A Levitation Delta kite lofted a Canon S95 on a KAP rig over the site of this Nearbynature Gigapan: gigapan.org/gigapans/80659/. A snapshot shows the exact location occupied by the gigapan imager.

Although nothing can grow taller than the winter snowpack in this harsh environment, there is relatively high species diversity, especially where the ground stays damp as in the foreground of this view. The rocks and bare soil were n...

Near Fairbanks Alaska, climatic conditions above an elevation of 3000 feet limit tree growth, so higher terrain supports treeless tundra vegetation. Near the tor-like outcrops of metasandstone (the Fairbanks Schist), thin soil supports a dry tundra dominated by mountain avens with few shrubs more than a few inches tall...
