Annotated photo of the raised beach along Kamishak Bay
From: Field studies of active faults in the Lake Iliamna region
The raised beach along Kamishak Bay forms a distinct, flat-topped terrace with a steep slope leading down to it. The flat lower portion of the terrace was once a wave-cut platform, an area of intertidal reefs and tide-pools below where waves and freezing temperatures wore away the bedrock. The steep slope is what remains of an ancient bluff along the coast. The raised beach itself is not obvious in these photos, but it forms a gently sloping surface between the terrace and ancient bluff.
