At 1pm today I noticed that it was kinda bright outside. We piled into the old pick up truck and headed to the Point to see polar bears.
That's the moon!
I guess you would call this the first sunlight of the New Year. We won't have a sunrise until January 20th.
Its nice to see some kind of sunlight in the distance.
This is known as fish camp, located by the Point. The wind has been blowing a lot lately and you can see the snow drifts are growing out here.
We parked at the Point for a little bit to see more of the light.
There are so many things to look at and take pictures of here. I'm only using my camera on my phone. Imagine if I had one of those fancy ones.
This truck was out on the tundra. We don't have a land permit so we can't drive out on the tundra.
I can't believe that time flies fast. It's January and we have been living in Alaska for 6 months.
This was taken at the Point facing the Beaufort Sea. Everything beyond that sign is frozen ocean.
The land goes on forever. I can't imagine how someone survived out in the tundra 3 days being stalked by a wolverine. Its truly a miracle.
I sneak pictures of Toby whenever I can.
This one is my favorite of him.
This is the Chukchi Sea.
You can see piles of shore ice forming. I've listened to stories from several Elders about the sea ice. The sea ice isn't the same. It has changed so much. A long time ago, you used to be able to walk out onto the ice. Now its dangerous to walk out onto the ice. You will fall through.
