Since 1999 I have been to the Alaska Range five times. Over those five trips I have taken numerous photo flights over the range. I am currently putting together a slide show with my photos from Alaska trips, this group of photos will be my next art show. This group of photos show the Alaska Range from the air and some of the planes that I have now spent quite a bit of time photographing from. None of these photos would have been possible without K2 Aviation so if you are looking to do a flight to the Alaska Range give them a call.
The Aircraft...
A Beaver sits on the tarmac in Talkeetna in the rain. No flights on this day.
An Otter on the Kahiltna Glacier.
A Otter makes a late flight into Kahiltna base camp
A Beaver Engine
Not all of the flying in the Alaska goes as planned.
The Alaska Range...
The Glaciers...
The glaciers really make some of the best subjects when flying in the Alaska Range. Even when the clouds are hiding the peaks there are always interesting glacier patterns to photograph.
The Climbers...
One thing that always adds interest to the glaciers are the added patterns of human presence. From the huge runway in the snow next to the busy camp of the Kahiltna Base, to a solitary track weaving through crevasses, these added patterns make some of my favorite photos.
The Mountains...
The mountains of the range make up some of the steepest, largest and most beautiful mountains in the world.
