SculpturesUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120353535 File Size: 26229 Comments: 0 / Views: 1097 Description: At first I thought these were ivory carvings, but a closer look (and wondering where the ivory would come from) made me think these were actually made from whale bones. Either way, these native works of art were very nice | |||||
Comfy CarrierUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120353297 File Size: 20660 Comments: 0 / Views: 882 Description: A woman demonstrates how babies are lifted and then carried on their backs to keep them warm (and out of the way) while doing routine activities. This isn’t just a thing of the past; this type dress and mode of baby transportation was seen throughout my stay in Barrow | |||||
Big BonesUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120194945 File Size: 39465 Comments: 0 / Views: 825 Description: Erosion of the cliff at the edge of the ancient village has exposed some whale bones. Since they were used to construct the homes as explained by sign, I wonder if these were remnants of those homes or more recently beached bones | |||||
Ocean ViewUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120194729 File Size: 18201 Comments: 0 / Views: 828 Description: This was our view from inside the restaurant. It’s hard to see, but the ice, along with a few areas of meltwater, goes from the shore to just about the horizon. Open water appears to be the bright line along the horizon. The mounds shown in the land outside the window were the remnants of an ancient village that we walked through after dinner | |||||
Map of RegionUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120194547 File Size: 29473 Comments: 0 / Views: 815 Description: This is a closer shot of the map on the search and rescue logo to give you an idea of where Kaktovik is (furthest to the right) compared to where we were in Barrow (furthest north, center). The distance between the two was several hundred miles, but still close enough to make us aware of dangers on the north slope |
Search and Rescue LogoUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120194501 File Size: 32044 Comments: 0 / Views: 766 Description: This is the logo for the search and rescue base where we landed. Not too much earlier, helicopters had arrived with the bodies of two people killed by a grizzly bear in the town of Kaktovik |
Thanking the CrewUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1120194424 File Size: 23456 Comments: 0 / Views: 766 Description: After we landed, we thanked the pilot (right) and flight engineer (left) (unfortunately I didn’t get their names) for a safe flight and great cruise overall. To the left is Stefanie Brachfeld, one of the researchers | |||
