So I had to spend some time in Juneau, and one of the State Troopers asked me if I had seen "the glacier". I had not, so he insisted I drive up the valley and look. Here is the video I took while I was there! Enjoy!

Home From the Arctic
I got to spend a couple of days this week above the Arctic Circle in a little village called Kotzebue. It was definitely a different experience. Although I have spent some time in Northern Europe, I have never been this far north before. It has been on my "bucket list" for oh, 40 years or so, and now I have been there.
Kotzebue was white, stark, cold, and beautiful. I came away with a new level of respect for the people who reside north of the Arctic Circle in small villages, and a wonder akin to awe at the hardiness of the stock that settled the region before there were such things as gasoline, fuel oil, and thrice-daily flights bringing in supplies and sustenance.
