It was about 10 o'clock on a warm Spring night. The sky was clear of the fog that often shrouds Kotzebue this time of year, and the mountains could be seen on the horizon. We hopped on the ATV's and headed out on the loop road which has quite a few interesting views of the tundra and of town. We came to this place ...

Kotzebue Alaska as viewed from the hill above town. Stitched from 27 hand held frames shot in portrait orientation. Note the occasional "shivering artifact". Have fun searching for the third dog sled team.

These family housing units for the Maniilaq Health Center are literally on the edge of town. Beyond is the vast Arctic tundra, which in winter is a formidable, snowy, treeless, windswept wilderness. On this particular day, I saw a moose on one of the snow banks by the building on the left. You can see his escort out o...

It is the end of summer, and in some ways Kotzebue is like other cities in the Northern Hemisphere. The tundra is changing its lush green cover to fiery shades of yellow, orange and red. We are harvesting local fruits. In our case, it's time for the last of the blueberries and the first of the cranberries. The waterfow...

In Kotzebue we really enjoy the 4th of July. By now most of the snow is gone. The water is free of ice, and it's very refreshing if you decide to go for a brief swim. We start with a 9am parade, which features floats made by local businesses and organizations. We show off our firetruck and the ambulance and the se...

When you mention Alaska and energy, most people think of oil, and they think of the pipeline that crosses Alaska from Prudoe Bay to Valdez. Folks ask me how much oil costs here, thinking that it costs a lot less than in other states like New York or Virginia. They are surprised when I tell them that although Kotzebue ...

Not everyone has as beautiful a walk to work as this one. Okay, usually this time of year, the walk back and forth is in the dark, and maybe there will be aurora with the stars, which are also very nice. But now, in the early afternoon, the place is brilliant. Look around and imagine the puffs of vapor as you breath th...
