AQR - Vol. 6, No. 1 & 2, Fall/Winter 1987

About the Cover

Looking southeast from the 6,050-foot summit of Carpathian Peak in the Kenai Mountains of Alaska, one can see Blackstone Glacier and, in the distance, the Sargent Icefield. Carpathian sits ten miles south of the towns of Portage and Whittier, on the rugged isthmus that joins the Kenai Peninsula to the Alaska mainland.
