Well, since I went south last year, I decided that going north would be a good idea this year. So off to the Arctic in Alaska I went. I found this trip via Rei Adventures as well.
This was a really great trip. The guides, Jody and Steveo, were fantastic. Full of information and energy. (And Jody being a really stellar cook too!)
Note: To view the panoramics, you will need to have Quicktime installed. Use the arrow keys or mouse (click and drag) to move around. Press shift or control to zoom in or out.
