Sunrise in Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska.

Arctic Mornings

Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska

An epic sunrise taken during an exhausting nine day backpacking trip in remote northern Alaska in the summer of 2022. This evening was a long one as I initially stayed up to photograph sunset at midnight (you read that correctly; sunset was at midnight due to our location above the arctic circle). I then went back to my tent, napped for a few hours, then awoke for sunrise and took this image around 4:30 a.m. Following sunrise, I returned to the tent, took another nap, then embarked on a twelve hour journey to climb one of the high peaks above camp - you can read about that epic journey here.

The long days were one of my favorite aspects to this trip. We didn't always get clear weather but when we did it was magical to never see darkness. Instead, blue hour lasted from around 1 - 4 a.m., a unique experience to say the least. I did my best to stay awake every night, reversing my sleep schedule. It was worth it for sunrises like this one.
