I’ve been back in the arctic for a little over a week now. I didn’t really expect to see ice along the coast at this time of the year. I’ve seen it before, but it’s a little surprising. Still, the coast has been littered with the remnants of the melting ice pack the entire time I’ve been here. Thought I’d share a few pics.
It’s odd, I suppose. Over the years, I find myself taking fewer pictures of Barrow. I keep thinking things like ‘that’s old’ and ‘my friends have already seen that’, but I suppose that’s the same thinking that left me with so few images to show for a decade in northern Arizona. Anyway, that’s one thing I like about about getting away. You come back home and remember what’s cool about it.
…in this case literally.

A great collection of photos – very interesting shapes. Des.

Thank you. That’s one thing about the ocean up here. It changes a lot. Fun to see all the shapes floating by.

I know about ice bergs, of course, and how they form, but I never realized there was such a thing as what you show in these delightful photos!

I don’t fully understand these guys. I must ask a colleague.

Beautiful pics. Hub is in Prudhoe Bay towing barges. I’ll have to ask him about ice.
danielwalldammit said:
I am curious as to what he sees over there.

Some polar bears, a couple caribou…whales, and other stuff he’s not supposed to share…

This is exactly why I need to venture farther north in Alaska. I spent all my time there in Juneau and Sitka. I would love to see blocks of ice like this for myself! Isn’t it funny how we start to take things like this for granted?
danielwalldammit said:
Southeast Alaska is beautiful, but it is definitely a different place. If you want to see a lot of ice like this come in late June (about the time of Nalukataq).

Beautiful ice formations. I hope they don’t become another thing lost to all but history.
danielwalldammit said:
I do too.

Gorgeous… the one after the ‘sharp’ one looks like a pelican 😀

Wow, thank you for sharing that. It looks bleak and cold although the ice formations are totally awesome!
