First Canadian campsite
Marty’s photo of the day #4464: This was one of the first campsites on Deb’s and my epic trip to the top of Canada for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. Ever since, Deb and I have hoped to redo that 5,572 mile-long adventure. We were going to do it […]
Dall sheep, doing their thing
Marty’s photo of the day #4285: To fully appreciate this photo, you’ll need a screen bigger than what’s on a typical smartphone. These are Dall sheep (also called thinhorn sheep) on a sheer mountainside. Photographed north of the Arctic Circle, in Alaska.
Best campsite in Canada
Marty’s photo of the day #4216: I shot this photo from the best campsite of Deb’s and my adventure to the top of Canada and back. This short excerpt from my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, tells the story: The rest of our afternoon was uneventful—if you can call driving […]
Above the Arctic Circle
Marty’s photo of the day #4055: Deb and I are hoping to give our dog, Nellie, her first taste of life above the Arctic Circle sometime next year. And, if we are lucky, hike with the Porcupine caribou migration again. There’s no feeling like being miles away from the nearest human, surrounded by whatever nature […]
Nearing the tree line
Marty’s photo of the day #3523: I took this photo north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska. As you can see, the tree line (where trees can no longer grow) is approaching. As I continued north, these scraggly trees would give way to tundra.
Amazing Dall sheep
Marty’s photo of the day #3522: I thought about cropping this photo, so you could see the Dall sheep better; then I thought better of it. The sight of these amazing animals on the steep rock face—especially the two that are away from the others—is what makes this photo. (Photographed north of the Arctic Circle, […]
Alaska Scenic
Marty’s photo of the day #3279: Today we go scenic, with a photo I took in Alaska, well north of the Arctic Circle.
Demonstrating social distance
Marty’s photo of the day #3190: This is my wife, Deb, north of the Arctic Circle, demonstrating social distance. Other than me behind the camera, there was likely no other person within fifty miles. The two of us were talking last night, and life during the COVID-19 pandemic won’t change much for us. We live […]
Think pleasant thoughts
Marty’s photo of the day #2946: When you think of the Arctic, the first thing that pops into your mind is most likely “cold.” Well, that was until Republicans started their 40 years-and-counting War On The Environment. Now you might think of human-induced melting polar ice, oil spills, and starving polar bears (thanks Ronald Reagan!). […]
First ever photo of a tundra taipan!
Marty’s photo of the day #2501: You are looking at the rarest snake in the world—the elusive tundra taipan! Scientists didn’t believe that snakes could survive north of the Arctic Circle until I documented it with this photograph, taken less than a mile from the Arctic Ocean. It is believed that the tundra taipan’s venom […]
Being artsy
Marty’s photo of the day #2233: I don’t remember much about this photo, except that I took it in Canada, north of the Arctic Circle, and I was trying to be artsy.
An Arctic Ground Squirrel on a Gorgeous Day
Marty’s photo of the day #2070: This is an Arctic ground squirrel that I photographed on a stunning day, a little north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska.
