Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

Documenting


I will be bringing a Canon PowerShot G11 ten megapixel camera, a Sony Cyber-Shot  ten megapixel camera, a tripod, and a FLIP Ultra HD video camera. The FLIP has a rechargeable nickel cadmium battery that can be removed and replaced with AA batteries, and I plan on doing just that. I have purchased lithium batteries to put in the FLIP, the GPS, and the SPOT. Nickel cadmium and alkaline batteries have a much higher water content so they freeze quicker at cold temperatures and become useless. The battery from the Sony will be removed, and the camera will be placed in reserve. A spare battery for the Canon, the Canon camera itself,  and all other backup batteries will kept warm at all times. More on this in a later blog.
