Aurora dancing over Denali. đ
Once in a lifetime views last night, good visibility of Denali at 1230pm freshly out of a snowstorm with a massive solar event creating the gorgeous aurora!

For 60 Years, Indigenous Alaskans Have Hosted Their Own Olympics | Athletes at the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics in Fairbanks test their mettle in events like the blanket toss, knuckle hop and ear pull https://t.co/bO3laJIM1y #Alaska #Olympics https://t.co/jrcsKwgyVu
Welcome to Celebration 2022. We at Sealaska Heritage Institute are proud to share Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures with you! Our wise elders and clan leaders conceived of Celebration 40 years ago as a way to pass on our culture to young people. Today, itâs one of the largest events in the state, drawing thousands of people. #Cele2022
Watch the event live by clicking the link in our bio!
"Nalukataq is a celebration of the whale that happens every summer in Utqiagvik. Whaling crews hand out shares of traditional foods to the community, people jump on the blanket toss (mapkuq) to throw candy to the crowd, and the community gathers for dancing (aÄĄÄĄi) at night.
Originally mapkuq was used to track whales during fall whaling. When they jumped, the jumper would look out towards the sea.
I was there to document the event for new to the region teachers as part of their cultural immersion, as well as catch up with old friends."
-ANHC Culture Box Coordinator, Zach Lane (IĂąupiaq)
Quyanaqpak for sharing these amazing photos, Zach! đ

Meet our guide Boaz Cesaretti!
Growing up as the oldest of four siblings on a rural farm in northern CA, Boaz's first explorations into the vertical world were scaling hundreds of feet into the canopies of the Coastal Redwoods.
These early experiences taught them risk assessment, as Boaz often found themself responsible for the wellbeing of their siblings; helping them stay safe, learning new things, and accomplishing tasks and projects.
Boaz decided they'd spent enough time day-dreaming about big mountains. So they dropped out of college, bought their first splitboard, and moved to CO to actively live those dreams.
When Boaz learned to ice climb under the mentorship and watchful eye of a former alpine guide, they realized the necessity to learn effectively, efficiently, and safely. As Boazâs proficiency in the outdoors grew, so did their love for sharing these activities.
âWatching someone figure out how to do something that previously seemed insurmountable is a deeply rewarding experience that keeps me motivated and in love with my job. I am driven by my passion for breaking down barriers to access and sharing the activities that I love with others.â
In 2021, Boaz went back to school, attending Colorado Mountain College in their Avalanche Science Program and earned a Snow Weather and Avalanche Field Technician Certification. Boaz is also a certified Wilderness First Responder, and holds a Professional Level 1 Avalanche Certification from the American Avalanche Association.
Boaz has completed all apprentice level American Mountain Guides Association courses, including the Rock Guide Course, Alpine Guide Course, Ice Instructor Course, and Ski Guide Course.
âClimbing has brought me all over the world, from Alaska to Europe and even South America. It is my goal to become internationally certified as a mountain guide so that I can continue to explore the mountains of the world with friends from all walks of life.â
When not working as a guide, you can find namaspliff racing uphill on skis, hanging out at a crag rock climbing, or just going for runs with their dog, Sparrow. On their down days, Boaz enjoys gardening, reading, and floating down rivers.
Are you looking for an adventure this year? Maybe you should join us for a week of exploring in Alaska this summer?!
We still have a few spots open on our group trip to Alaska July 21-26! During our six day journey weâll view wildlife and sea glaciers on a cruise of Prince William Sound, trek across Matanuska Glacier (and Iâm hoping for a polar plunge), and get some views of Denali! Now that we have a few group trips under our belt, I can solidly say that it is one of the most fun ways to travel. There is nothing more exciting than discovering a new place with kind, welcoming, and like-minded people. Because of that, we CANâT WAIT to get a new crew together to meet up in Alaska. Weâd be overjoyed to explore one of our favorite places on earth with you. If youâre interested or have any questions about it, donât hesitate to ask! For more general info about the trip, you can find it in the link in our bio!
Democracy For All event at The Alaska Native Heritage Center last night #alaska #alaskanativeheritagecenter #democracyforall #democracynow #anchorage #anchoragealaska #stopvotersuppression #vote #mmiw #mmiwg #anchorageaction
In an area known for rain, the weather forecasted for the weekend looked surprisingly clear, so I jump on a moreso rare opportunity to hike the local volcano, Mt. Edgecumbe. The morning began with a thirty minute boat ride to the neighboring Kruzof Island. Engulfed by morning fog, we eerily approached our destination, unseen before us. We landed on the beach and started the hike. As the sun burned the fog away, Mt. Edgecumbe came into focus. Vibrant green foliage and red rock sharply contrasted each other as we climbed higher, and in the distance, mountains towered above a still clouded Sitka. Unobstructed views met us at the top and as we circumnavigated the rim of Mt. Edgecumbe. Between meeting some awesome people, helping Kyra (a warm husky) find some snow, enjoying the sun while itâs here, and a post hike swim in the Pacific, the trip concluded with a bonus of seeing whales in the wild for the first time. It was fascinating to see these giant animals breach in the distance and then swim within 30ft of the boat.
Somewhere back in my mind I always wanted to capture something like that iconic scene from the movie 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'. I know this one is not close, but I was thinking about it all the time while taking this picture. Our Alaska trip was a dream come true and we loved every moment of it.
I haven't been posting much in recent times.. We both got super busy specially after a long trip. Now trying to get back to life. Being in a full time job + editing + posting + work on collaboration + event.. I know it's a lot to take in. But I forget all of my hurdles when I see something very good come out of it. This may be in the form of good photography or client's smile when they see the pictures or some life-changing experience. The good thing is we all are growing together. Let's keep each other in our prayers for good spirit, good health, and good adventure. What else do we need more in this lifetime, right?

Jaw dropping snowboard contests sponsored by redbullsnow have overrun my TV during the holidays. The sheer beauty of its vastness; nature in its wildest form - Alaska. Known to be one of the last Frontiers, this region of Todrillo accesses over 2 million off-piste miles of powder fields, mountain ridges and home to some of the most epic freeride events in the world.
Our friend Mike at tordrilloheli talks of the activities guests can enjoy whilst at the Lodge - heli skiing of course, but also ice fishing, ice plunging, snow shoeing, fat biking, skidooâing and even simply eating the incredible chefs menu!
If youâre looking for remote adventure for you and a few friends, this could be the perfect expedition for you! Donât be shy, get in touch! âď¸đđ

My happy place: where the ocean meets the forest.
Mushing is a popular winter activity in Alaska as it is home to the world famous Iditarod race (that ended a couple days ago!) For our tour, we were lucky to have Bill Cotter as our guide - he raced for 50 years, and won the Yukon Quest and placed third at the â95 Iditarod. Not only that, heâs won 4 humanitarian awards for the care and treatment of his dogs. Meeting him and his family was one of the highlights of our trip, and was well worth the long drive!
And how cute is Emmett (first dog) the lead dog of the pack!

I am so excited to share that Royal Caribbean has offered myself and 6 of my coworkers the opportunity to take part in a simulation cruise to Alaska!
My husband and I will be meeting my friends and fellow agents in Seattle next week then heading to Ketchikan, Alaska on the Ovation of the Seas!
The simulation cruise is an optional step that cruise lines can take to assure the CDC that they are ready and willing to adhere to new social distancing and covid guidelines to provide their clients an amazing experience at sea while keeping them and their staff safe.
I canât wait to share this experience with you and I am so grateful to Royal Caribbean and Fairy Tale Concierge for providing me with this amazing adventure!

Every February/March, Fairbanks holds an ice art championship and lemme tell you, these artists are phenomenal! I love getting the ability to go multiple times throughout the event and see all of the different sculptures that are being created. Categories include single block sculptures to larger than life ones. Made from just ice, the detail that goes into some of these pieces is astounding. They even have a âgame roomâ set up which consists of mini golf, air hockey, sledding, etc. and these too are all made from ice! I highly recommend this great attraction if youâre ever in the area during this time!

Meet Frank the Tank, our otterly friendly neighborhood otter đŚŚ
Your best bet of meeting Frank during your visit is by grabbing one of our on-site kayaks or paddleboards and taking it for a local spin around the neighborhood cove.
Halibut cove is teeming with wildlife, from sea otters to seals, puffins, jellyfish and more!
We also recommend grabbing a hot drink at Halibut Coveâs Coffee House while youâre out and about exploring the cove.
