Mt. Edgecumbe, an exstinct cone volcano, is located on Kruzof Island, only 14 miles from Sitka. It provides a dramatic backdrop to the town. In the foreground are the support for the bridge to Japonski Island and the house of the publisher of the local paper. This photograph was taken in late May, 2007. The snow had melted up to the cone by the end of June.
