Cross-Country skiing, Split Thumb, Juneau Ice Field, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2038

It is still raining in Juneau today but this time of year turns my attention to winter and the hopes of snow. This photo was taken on the Juneau Ice Field by the distinctive mountain feature called Split Thumb. Split Thumb stands over 5,500 feet high. A bunch of friends helicoptered up to the Ice Fields and spent a spring day cross country skiing this breathing taking area. I shot this photo with a Nikon F/5 camera body and a polarized Nikor 80-200 F/2.8 lens using Velvia film. This photo illustrates the month of January in my Juneau Alaska 2001 Calendar. Thank you.-Mark Kelley
