Alaska's Northern Coast
ALAK08D-607
September 7, 2008
The tundra in the far north of Alaska is unlike any other landscape that I've encountered. Flat, deep, it feels like a mattress is underfoot, with a lush carpet of small, short plants. It is treeless, and the water that saturates the ground pushes forth into small lakes and ponds all over the place. It feels barren from up above, as seen on the flight from Kotzebue to Point Hope, but it is not. The dun cliffs drop sharply into the frigid sea, leaving you breathless at the expansiveness of the lands to the north. Enjoy.
