The Polar Express Expedition - Alaska & the Arctic
I have lived in Alaska for nearly four years working in the energy exploration business up in the North Slope in the Arctic Territory. During those four years I have explored most of this great land and covered it from the southern part (Bristol Bay) to the northern part of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
This trip is designed to cover some of my favorite places in this magical land and will take you from small fishing villages, remote high altitude mountains, rain forests and to the heart of the Arctic.
