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.

The Sagavanirktok River and Coastal Plain


Summer on Alaska's North Slope is brief and explosive. The rivers go out, and the green season begins and lasts about 4 weeks. Then the tundra turns brown, the fog rolls in, it snows and another winter begins.

These are pictures of the Sagavanirktok River, which flows north from the Brooks Range and into the Arctic Ocean.
