Solid as a Rock

This is one of 15 photo prints left behind by a guest of the Best Western White Bear Country Inn in Minnesota. Who knows when? Rescued from the hotel's lost and found in 2009.  Photo sleeve says "Tom Brudos."  A letter in same packet (which doesn't mention the photos) is postmarked 1955 and is addressed to Dick Brudos.  The scenes appear to be from Alaska - but where?  Here are more photos from the same excursion.  I'll post one more which has a rather unique geological feature. View full size.
Update: Another photo in the series has been identified by JFlash, a helpful Shorpy member, as Thule Greenland.  With that new information, my guess that this series of photos was taken in Alaska is likely incorrect.  More research!  Thanks for the help J.
