On Top of the World

High on a Mountain

Don Sheldon Amphiteatre, Ruth Glacier, Alaska, June 1996

We had the extraordinary privilege of taking a ski-plane up to this spot nestled among the mountains. The view was simply amazing - mountains on every side, other planes swooping in for landings just feet away and struggling to stay atop the snow, and the knowledge that Denali (aka Mt. McKinley) was hidden just behind that cloudbank in the center of the picture.
