The fog has socked in the harbour of Petersburg on Mitkof Island in Southeast, Alaska where a fleet of commercial fishing boats remain idle along the dock. On the worn dock in the foreground, fishermen have laid their nets and equipment which are ready for use once the fog lifts.

The town of Petersburg is known as a popular fishing village where commercial fishing boats, pleasure crafts and smaller fishing boats are constantly coming and going in these waters.

Petersburg is surrounded by islands and snow capped mountains along the Inside Passage of Alaska where this small town of 3,100 residents is located on the northern tip of Mitkof Island. Other activities enjoyed by the people of Petersburg besides fishing are hunting, hiking, art and viewing the vast amount of wildlife which is common around this island.
