Just How Cold Does It Really Get in Alaska?

(Note: This post originally published in January, 2011)

When talking to others about my photography adventures, the subject often gravitates to me being asked if it really does get THAT COLD in Alaska. Here’s a few images I made in the Chilkat River Valley during my last visit to Haines, Alaska, to photograph the bald eagles there … you tell me!

I think you’d agree that it can get quite cold there … even in the “temperate” Inside Passage!
