East Amatuli Island Remote Video Link Project - 1999
Two remotely operated video cameras were installed near common murre (Uria aalge) field observation posts at E. Amatuli Island on 22 May. Live images were transmitted to Homer by microwave via a repeater atop Mt. Bede, on the southwestern Kenai Peninsula. Between 23 June and 4 September Pratt Museum...
