High winds that pushed water high up on south facing shores of the Seward Peninsula cause shoreline erosion on the Chukchi Sea coast of Shishmaref, last week.
Back-to-back winter storms hit Nome and the region with very strong, screaming winds and accompanying blowing snow.

The high winds also pushed away ice cover.
