Twelve degrees above zero, and days are lengthening. This was our view just twenty-four minutes past noon, as we travelled back to our cabin, along the Glenn Highway.

interesting video if you care to listen and watch. It was sent to me yesterday so I thought I'd share if you haven't seen it.
This wolf photo is actually one I got in Alaska several years ago and had posted an un-cropped version of this but I decide to crop in on the face and post again. It was actually snowing when I took this, snow not added in post processing. The head tilt reminds me of Otto. He always does this when I talk to him
The Alaska Railroad's overnight Anchorage to Fairbanks road freight makes its way past the historic passenger depot turned museum in Nenana, Alaska under adverse skies. Of course it is worth mentioning that this train's journey isn't really "overnight" during this time of the year. The clock shows a time of 0545 and the sun has already climbed well above the mountain peaks after only setting for about three hours.
Nenana is easily the most historically significant location on the Alaska Railroad with the large truss bridge spanning the Tanana River out of view behind me being the final pivitol piece of the railroad to be completed in July of 1923, almost 100 years ago to the day. Over the past century the railroad has become a vital part of the Alaskan economy, bringing its passenger and freight services to some of the most desolate and unforgiving places of the United States. Alaska is a place of many extremes. With total darkness and bitter cold in the winter and total lack of darkness in the summer, I have the utmost respect for the Alaska's railroaders for persevering through these conditions.

I created a photo illustration from some photos I took on our recent Alaska trip. I really wanted to see the Bald Eagle in the sky over this scene and the whale in such a gorgeous background, but it didn't happen until I combined the parts together on my computer after I got home.
Generally, the least end-of-season ice thickness values range from near 60 cm. in the southern part of the state (excluding the Aleutian Chain and the southeast panhandle regions) to 170 cm on the west coast. The range of maximum ice thickness in Alaska ranges from 100 cm. in the southern part to 180 cm.
