WOW, where to even begin? Gambell, Alaska located on St. Lawrence Island, off the coast of Nome, 38 miles from Russia, 12 miles from the international date line....population 700ish, subsistence living, ivory carvers, wonderful people, and now 24 hours of light.
I like this photo as it kinda captures the feeling of the town....gravel roads, 4 wheelers, a ski slope for the backdrop (just kidding, but it actually looked like it had some fun lines and looked like some decent rock climbing with nice splitters...hmmmmmm).
We went down to the beach and watched the hunting boats quickly navigate their way through the fast current and floating ice...looked kinda sketchy to me. The walrus looked like seals to me....but they laughed and assured me it was walrus!
Those mountains, Russia!
Huge thanks to Kim for helping us coordinate this trip....and a very special thank you to Anna and Claudette for always jumping in, for making me laugh, for keeping me in line, for all of the support and especially for making all of these adventures so enjoyable! I really could not have done it without you!
