Storm waves beat upon the cliff side shore along Alaska’s arctic coast. Canon 5D Mark III, 24-105mm f/4L IS, 1/50 sec @ f/8, ISO 800
If you have spent any time on Alaska’s arctic coast, then you are familiar with wind, and usually lots of it. Standing on the edge of this cliff, looking out into the gray abyss of clouds, and the Beaufort Sea that extends northward as far as the open water exits, makes one feel pretty tiny. Erosion from wind and waves is making a noted impact on this shore, and a giant chunk of icy land fell into the surf during the few days I was there.
