Hey Folks,
December 6, 2010, marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, in Alaska. To commemorate this, and as a tribute to an amazing place, I’ve put together this slide show; 50 photos to mark the 50 years. These are all images from the Refuge, over 19 million acres of wild lands. The refuge is a treasure, home to thousands of creatures and features; the caribou herds, the Brooks Mountains, the broad coastal plain, migratory birds and countless other gifts to this world. A beautiful landscape that warrants our respect, not our exploitation.
I selected the images to present a the diversity of features and creatures that call the Refuge home, and composed and recorded the music to accompany it. I hope you enjoy it.
If you have a nice, large computer screen and broadband connection, Open it full screen and click HD. You can watch and listen to this video in full HD resolution, at 720 x 1280. It’ll take a moment to load, but is (hopefully) well worth the time.
Happy Birthday ANWR – and cheers to many, many more.
Visit the wild.
Cheers
Carl

Very nice slide show. I was able to work on the North Slope last summer, what beautiful landscape. Different, yet beautiful. I love Alaska and could spend a lifetime there and not see it all. -HW
