The area has a long scattered history of human habitation. Archaeologists have dated the area’s original inhabitants’ (the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian) remains as far back as 10,000 years ago!
Geology: the study of earth; any of a number of scratches or parallel grooves on the surface of a rock, resulting from the action of moving ice, as of a glacier.
