Here are our first 2026 images of the south face of that near-mountain called Blue Hill – the image above was taken over a snowy stable and, below, an image taken over an icy bay.
As many of you know, this nearly-1000-foot lonely land mass gets the blues in some weather. Before this area was settled by Europeans in 1762, the local Penobscot Abenaki people reportedly called this massive mound “Awanadjo,” meaning “small, misty mountain.”
