New member Carl Schoch pens about Sadie Cove, a deglaciated fjord, tucked away in the southeastern shore of Kachemak Bay in Alaska. Named in 1880 by William H. Dall, the rocks surrounding the cove are made of sandstone and other sedimentary rock. Prehistoric rock paintings and pictographs have been discovered around Sadie Cove and other local rock shelters, leading to analysis on their composition and their historic nature. Follow Schoch’s work to learn more about the past and present of Sadie Cove, rooted in both the environment and anthropology.
