Anaktuvuk Pass is in the heart of the Brooks Range, so flying in and out is quite amazing. Here are a few pictures of my flight out today.
The Wright Air plane, the same company that flies us into Arctic Village.
The moon coming up over the mountains and the North Slope Borough Police waiting to inspect things coming off the plane.
Sun setting over the mountains
The colors were amazing, with alpenglow everywhere!
Flying at sunset I felt like we were above the sun
My supervisor, who came on this trip with me, enjoying the view.
I am definitely biased, but I think Alaska is truly God's Masterpiece! The landscape of Alaska is so amazing! The people here have problems like anywhere and many people live very bleak and tough lives, but there is such beauty in the surroundings.

Hi. It has been a while since I have visited you blog but again must complement you on the detail in both photos and information on what life in the Arctic is like.
Agreed arctic colors of blues, pinks, and golden are unbelievable.
Get very nostalgic when I read the northern blogs and wishing i was north again but after the x-c ski accident in Pangnirtung last April and following hip surgery may be abit until I am back working in Nunavut.
Saw Amelia last weekend in Victoria on the water coaching her rowers of course.
Again the best all three of you and other assorted dogs.
