Southeast Alaska – June 2014

By Chelsea McKenna Hollender

I was lucky enough to get to spend the Summer Solstice in Alaska this year. Soaking up the midnight sun, the views, the kind people, and the wildlife. And of course, landsnorkeling. 

Icebergs are beautiful! We got to handle a piece up close, as well.

Vibrant moss lives at the foot of a retreating glacier...

Lupine in front of a glacial bay...

A railroad spike hammered into a tree makes me stop and stare...

A wild rose of Alaska

Summer storms roll across Alaska frequently, leaving great droplets on the wildflowers...

Did you know glaciers leave great skipping stones in their wakes?
