Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #3354

Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #3354

I took this photo in May just after the winter ice disappeared from Mendenhall Lake. Right after break-up, the water level in the lake is usually very low. The glacier’s ice is coming out of a deep winter freeze and just beginning to thaw starting the process of refilling the lake. The low ...
Humpback Whales, Alaska #3353

Humpback Whales, Alaska #3353

Humpback whales are for the most part rather solitary mammals except for when they are bubble-net feeding. I have counted as many as fifteen humpbacks participating in a bubble-net feeding event. It amazes me how these school-bus-sized mammals organize themselves underwater and are able to ...

Coastal Brown Bears, Anan Creek, Wrangell, AK #3450

One my favorite wild places to photograph bears is Anan Creek, just a short boat ride out of Wrangell, Alaska. Anan is special because it supports one of the largest pink salmon runs in Southeast Alaska which in turn supports a lot of bears feasting in this flowing river of protein. The U.S. ...

Denali, Alaska Range, Wonder Lake #3449

While staying at Camp DenaIi, I shot this image from the north end of Wonder Lake with Denali casting a mirror reflection during a late August morning. Denali, in Denali National Park and Preserve, is North America’s tallest mountain at 20,310 feet, or 6,190 meters. This image illustrates the ...
