Caribou and the Brooks Range mountains. Canon 1Ds Mark III, 500mm f/4L IS, 1/640 @ f/5.6, ISO 400
The nomadic caribou of Alaska’s arctic roam widely across the northern regions of the Brooks Range mountains. Several thousands were visible along the snowy tundra near the Philip Smith mountains, and I experimented with various focal lengths. They were quite far off but the herd shows their dispersion well. At least two in one group were running around with arrow wounds from the bow hunters that access the herd from the Dalton highway.
