Title	Shishaldin, Isanotski, Round Top.
Description	Title taken from caption. From May's journal, dated June 29th: "By evening we had reached False Pass, which flows between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean....Beyond the Pass lay Round Top, Isnotski [sic] and Sheshaldin [sic], the three most spectacular mountains that I have ever seen. Sheshaldin [sic] is the largest active volcano in Alaska. We were fortunate in being able to see it, as the clouds lifted just as we came abreast of it. It was smoking and sending forth a fine plume of smoke. Although the mountains are only seven, eight and nine thousand feet high they have the appearance of being twice as high, rising up straight from the water."-- p. 78. View of Shishaldin, Isanotski and Roundtop Mountains on Unimak Island. There are boats on the water in the foreground. Photograph taken by Alan May during the 1936 Smithsonian Institution's Archaeological Expedition to the Aleutian Islands.
