Kuna Crest

I’m afraid I don’t know the names of the peaks in this photo. I do know that this is Kuna Crest, a long and high ridge running between the Lyell fork of the Tuolumne River (Lyell Canyon) and the Parker Pass area which is drained by the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne.
Spillway Lake is in the bowl on the left side of the photo.

Two From the Daily Scoop
Sierra Club Daily Scoop:
The New York Times reports that the Arctic ice cap… The New York Times reports that the Arctic ice cap shrank sharply this year, reaching a size “20 percent below the average minimum ice extent measured from 2000 back to 1978, when precise satellite mapping of the ice began.” The difference translates to 500,000 square miles — roughly double the area of Texas. Scientists fear that the melting trend is now self-sustaining, with exposed ocean providing a dark surface that absorbs solar energy instead of reflecting it as ice would. The resulting feedback mechanism means we could expect the Arctic to be ice-free in future summers. – django [Daily Scoop]

New energy legislation
is being crafted in the wake of recent hurricanes. Led by Texas Republican Joe Barton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, GOP leaders appear determined to push forward a ”
slew of pro-industry measures
that Congress rejected earlier this year when it passed a broad energy bill that was supposed to address the country’s long-term energy problems.”– django [Daily Scoop]
