That’s right, that glassy water is the arctic ocean, the sea ice wall is off-shore a 1/4 mile or so. This was from a trip up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a few years back. The only time I’ve seen the arctic ocean so totally smooth -not a ripple on it when we first arrived. Soon after a dip and a few photos, the wind whipped up and it began to look more like the arctic ocean one expects to see – cold, and wind-whipped.
For the record, that butt is not mine. I was just the photographer.
Actually, perhaps quite a symbolic image Carl. It won’t be long before it is warm enough up there in the summer for some beachfront property to be developed. 🙂

And another thing, your Dad’s name is not Colleen.
Tell me when you change details on your comment info.
Do your own homework. Checking your information when you post on my blog is your responsibility, not mine. Sheesh!

Sorry Carl, I have to apologise.
I was unaware that your mother has sneaked in and used the computer without permission. It must have been quite a shock for you to receive a comment from your Mum.
However she is coming along quite nicely since I started her writing lessons. Dad
Hmmm is that ice or sand in the far distance a shoreline or not? Most likely ice so I’ll go with somewhere along the Beaufort Sea most likely….
I hope you don’t mind that I didn’t click to see the larger version. 🙂
When you say click for a larger version, do you mean larger photo, or larger butt in the air! I’m afraid to click to find out. 🙂
Hey Folks,
And the answer is …. #1. The Beaufort Sea.
