The eye says it is three miles to such a point and it turns out six; or that the front of yonder glacier is a hundred feet high and it is two hundred more. For my part I never succeeded in bring my eye up to the Alaska scale." John Burroughs, Volume I, The Harriman Alaska Expedition. "There is one other asset of the territory not yet enumerated, imponderable, and difficult to appraise, yet one of the chief assets of Alaska, if not the greatest. This is the scenery."
