More to come later, but I got home last night from Alaska (was picked up at the airport by my friend Matt - also from my BYU days- and whisked downtown to meet my friends for a night of masked Mexican wrestling Nacho Libre style, but I digress). Tomorrow is my Santa Monica (early) 4th of July party so I have some work to do and will post more later. For now let me say I was TOTALLY screwed up by the extended daylight. Our first stop in Barrow (330 miles inside the arctic circle) the sun never set; in Anchorage it set around midnight and would rise at ~3:30 a.m. I don't think I got more than 4 hours sleep at any time.
This is a video from Barrow where we toured the point in a Hummer 1. The Inpuit natives leave whale carcasses to keep the polar bears there and not wandering into town looking for food. This is a cub and mother. What you don't see in this video was a male that was following them and slowly narrowing the gap. We didn't hang around to see what happened next.
