1. This location is one of the few temperate rainforests in the world, and is also one of the largest. Moss is abundant (obviously).
2. This man:
has three cities named after him in the same region and was the first European to see this mountain. As was his habit, he named it after a friend.
3. You might say this landmark was in labor for 9 hours.
5. Three decades ago, this place had more glaciers than any place in the US outside of Canada. Brrrrrrr.
6. A popular place for Free Willy, Shamu, and their friends.
7. Part of a very popular modern book series is set in this location. I know I'll be on the lookout for big, burly, shifty-type characters.
