| <P>Sheldon Jackson College sits on the western shore of Baranof Island in | |
| southeast Alaska. Encircled by mountains and nestled between ancient forests | |
| and the Pacific Ocean, Sitka is considered one of the most beautiful seaside | |
| ports in the world. SJ is located within the 17-million acre Tongass National | |
| Forest, the largest temperate rain forest in the world, and the largest | |
| National Forest in North America. The island-studded waters of Sitka Sound | |
| provide shelter from the Pacific Ocean, and are home to humpback whales, sea | |
| lions, and scores of fish species. Like all coastal towns, Sitka receives much | |
| rainfall per year--which of course contributes to the lush, green beauty here | |
| nearly year-round. Warmed by the Japanese Current, Sitka's climate is | |
| moderate: cool summers and non-severe winters.<P> | |
