New Eddystone Rock - Misty Fjords National Monument


The stunning Misty Fjords National Monument is noted for its steep cliff walls, lush vegetation, and array of Southeast Alaska wildlife species. One of its most unique features is New Eddystone Rock, located near the entrance of Rudyerd Bay. This instantly recognizable island consists of basalt that rose from a volcanic vent through fractures in the floor of Behm Canal. As glaciers advanced, they scoured away most of the flow, leaving behind New Eddystone Rock and several other islands.
