Ro, wonderful picture and another great aerial view of Alaska. I was curious as to what Chultina may translate to so I asked Grok. Here is Grok's answer:

Chultina literally means "the river/water that flows out or "outflow river/stream".This is a very common type of river name in Athabascan languages and fits perfectly with Chultina River being the main outflow of Lake Clark (it flows out of the lake and eventually becomes the Tlikakila River, then joins the Mulchatna).You'll see the name written several ways because of different historical transliteration systems:
* Chultina (older American spelling)
* Tsultena
* Tsult'ena (current Dena'ina orthography)
But they all refer to the same meaning: "the river that flows out".

Roland, this is again a wonderful and very interesting 'bird's eye view' photograph. You're right: while sailing in a canoe it's pretty hard to get a proper impression of the environment. While flying in a (small) plane it's a complete different story.
The explanation of John above makes your post even more interesting.
Excellent work from both of you!
