Flying along the coast of the Fairweather mountain range, SE Alaska

While there looks to be a lot of snow, it's melting fast. The amount of ice that exists now is a small fraction of what it was 100 years ago. If we want to keep this beauty around we have to act.

This was taken on a trip meant solely for photography. We traveled to Juneau, Alaska by plane and then an additional three hours by ferry to Haines. The trip was organized by wildlife photographer Jon Cornforth.
