Morning we left Kaktovik, picture from the airport.
Our plane is coming in! When you have a flight you just wait out by the runway.
Here is our plane, first stop: Deadhorse!
I'm sitting by the propeller.
The beautiful Deadhorse Airport.
Walking around during our layover, without all the pesky checkpoints found in larger airports we can come and go as we please!
For the next flight I was in the very front so I could look at what the pilots were doing.
When we were landing all you could see through the windshield was ground, doesn't show in the picture though...
We got there just in time for a community potluck, I was even brave enough to try a little of the seal. (It is fishier than fish!)
Some beautiful flowers picked by Barrow children.
One day the new hires got to take a trip to the Inupiat Heritage Center.
These posts made from whale bones are a common sight in Barrow.
First signpost.
Just in case you needed to know how far it is to London.
Second Barrow signpost, most of the choices on it were very random though.
The Arctic Ocean!
Our principal's dog: Kona.
KIDS DON'T FLOAT!!!
The second place I stayed for the week had this awesome staircase!
And I could see the ocean from the bed...
Then my phone died and I took no more pictures in Barrow. But back in Kaktovik I got some great pictures when Deb, Ann, and myself walked out to the lake.
The land is swampy all the way there, my feet were soaked by the end of our walk.
It's a pretty big lake, and where all the drinking water comes from.
Panorama!
These fences everywhere are to catch blowing snow so it drifts outside of town.
Another picture of the school.
One of my treasures, every time I walk to the beach I end up dragging something back with me, last time it was this... er... seal flipper? I'm not sure.
My collection!
The snow fence is falling down... This is where the tundra tried to eat my boots!
