A vista of Siorapaluk, Greenland, which is one of the world's northernmost inhabited settlements. It has a population of around 70. Location: 77° 47'N near the magnetic North Pole and 850 mile from the geographic North Pole.
Knutsford, B.C.
If there were a fence at the North Pole, I figure it might look like this because, you know, the North Pole is curved as if it were on the top of a globe. :-)
Barrow/Utqiagvik, Alaska-17141
During a past birding trip in the northern Alaskan town of Utqiagvik/Barrow , a mate and I were driving the coastal road looking for birds that might be flying along the beach and to our absolute shock and surprise there was this Polar Bear standing on the frozen Arctic ocean, no more than a 100 yards of the beach eating possibly the left overs from dead seal or whale?
We ended up watched him from the beach for about 20-30 minutes, "it seem like hours" before he moved on. During the time he was eating, every once in awhile he would look our way, just to make sure we were not getting too close.
looking through the camera view finder it added to the tension as it made him feel even closer, this is definitely a wildlife highlight and experience I will never forget.
The 45th parallel south is a circle of latitude that is 45° south of the Earth's equator. It is the line that marks the theoretical halfway point between the equator and the South Pole. The line is crossed on the Milford Highway as the road passes through ancient Beech tree forests, South Island, New Zealand.
My great Flickr friend Jerry recently posted an image of the Mission Point Lighthouse that sits on the 45th parallel north, which is halfway between the North Pole and the Equator Old Mission Peninsula, Grand Traverse County, Lake Michigan, Traverse City, Michigan, USA . Therefore we both live nearby to the northern and southern 45th parallels respectively.
Bridge of Light_Pink_Happy Feet
Just when you think
Hope is lost
And giving up
Is all you got,
Blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That's when you can build a bridge of light,
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you can't give up the fight
