We wake up in Tombstone Mountain Campground, Yukon Territory. Sunshine streams through the trees and into the car. The rain is gone, the sky is bright. A welcome change after yesterday's arduous journey to get here. But here is only a point along the way. There is much to see.

So much.

Of the many places I have been, I have always found similarities in landscapes. Until now. Here, in this land that spends half the year under darkness and snow, this land that is frosted earth deep beneath my feet, everything is new. And in this tiny window of time, late summer, I get only a glimpse of the majesty that defines this region so close to the North Pole.

A two hour drive takes three. But we are not in a hurry.
