On the list of the most beautiful natural places I have ever been, Alaska ranks at the very top. This glacier may have had a name, but so many others did not. There were simply too many of them. Beauty was within reach at every point on this trip, whether it was seeing the salmon in the rivers towards the end of their annual run, coming upon a group of ten bald eagles on the bank of a fjord, or paddling next to a huge river of ice that creeps along ever so slowly, carving mountains in its wake. The force and the majesty of the state was almost overwhelming at times. I could not capture it all, but this photograph is a stunning reminder of my trip there. I cannot wait to go back with a renewed focus (and a better camera) to document the awe inspiring beauty of untouched nature.
