Just flew in yesterday from a trip to Minnesota. The plane usually approaches Barrow from the ocean-side, and this time of year that can be rather cool. I was seated in the aisle, so this could definitely have been better. Still, I think it’s kinda neat. I reckon the plane finally crosses over land at about the 1:06 mark. If you look closely, you can see shoreline. The Snow gets smoother.
Couple pics from the trip (click to embiggen):

What a beautiful place! Should the snow typically be heavier this time of year?
Gorgeous pics!
Love the photos, always glad to see your posts. However, I would not last there one week except in midsummer. I loathe cold. LOL.
Everywhere white… amazing view, and beautiful photographs and yes, video too. Thank you, Love, nia
