The two Arctic Alaska photo tours that I co-guide with Hugh Rose were full of weather adventure and logistical challenges this year. They were also filled with some fantastic photo opportunities. We always proclaim that the trips are different every year, and this held true once again. The first October, trip was slammed with a blizzard for three days in Kaktovik, which made for some wild photography.
The second trip following that had high winds that trapped us in Kaktovik for two extra days. The tours encompass the great Arctic experience, including photography of landscapes, the aurora, the Brooks Range, wildlife and polar bears.
In general, I shoot very little on these photo adventures compared to my normal photographic pursuits, as I’m busy doing a number of different things. But I’ve pulled a few images to share here in the gallery below.
