Marty’s photo of the day #4707: Just sittin’, watching a grizzly bear lumber by, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Marty’s photo of the day #4603: This is the Jago River in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It took Deb and me five days to canoe down it and about 30 minutes to fly back over it. For more on this, see my second book, book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4584: The last part of Deb’s and my canoe trip across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge included canoeing across a small section of the Arctic Ocean. It was stunning. (For more, read my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.)
Marty’s photo of the day #4429: Woolly lousewort, photographed near the Arctic Ocean in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Marty’s photo of the day #4329: After canoeing across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Deb and I got to fly back over where we had been. I shot this photo from the window of our tiny airplane. Below, along the Jago River, was our first campsite, and the hill, “Bitty,” was our first-day climbing conquest. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4291: I shot this photo well after midnight, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska. Yes, this is as dark as it gets up there in late June.
Marty’s photo of the day #4238: I shot this photo from the co-pilot’s seat of a tiny airplane (called a Helio), heading north over the Brooks Range, on the way to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This short excerpt, from my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4223: I photographed this red fox in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A slightly different version of this photo appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #4194: This is an extreme close-up of the amazing tundra plant life in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Or, as Republican oil company sycophants call it, “A bunch of nothing.”
Marty’s photo of the day #4153: I shot this photo at about two in the morning. It’s June, and at will be light all night. You’re looking at the sun hitting the Brooks Range in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as a storm moves in.
Marty’s photo of the day #4072: I shot this photo many years ago, when Deb and I spent a day hiking with the Porcupine caribou migration in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Roughly 200,000 caribou take part in the 1,500 mile round trip between Canada and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. It is the longest […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4049: Wolf track vs. woman’s hand, photographed in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska. This photo also appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #4046: You are looking at a Hecale longwing butterfly that I photographed in Costa Rica. This photo also appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #3986: When Deb and I canoed across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, campsites became less and less desirable as we neared the Arctic Ocean. This one was my least favorite. We called it Camp Desolation, because it featured little more than hard, rocky ground and biting wind off the Arctic […]
