Alaska has a vast coastline, longer than all other states combined, and it also possesses strange and overwhelming scenery.

Amusing Planet page has just compiled photos of the scenery along the long coastline of Alaska, USA in the Shorezone project.

Shorezone is a project developed since 1989, to monitor the situation of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Thanks to that, the beauty of Alaska’s beaches is thoroughly discovered. Many tourists, when witnessing this image, said that the first thing that came to their mind was “was there magic intervention to create such beautiful masterpieces?” Pictured is the bank of Grewingk Glacier, Kachemak Bay, taken on June 24, 2009.

The photos were taken on a helicopter, at an altitude of 100 m to 300 m. This photo was taken at Point Nowell, in July 2004.

To get the clearest and most beautiful photos of this beach, photographers have to spend 5 hard days every month – the time when the tide is at its lowest. The photo above was taken on Prince of Wales Island.
