Mongolia - Listen to the winds across the Gobi Desert

Mongolia - The Gobi Desert

As with most deserts, the Gobi has life in  miniature, and in the extremes.

 The wind is strong most of the year, so much of the plant and animal life hugs the ground. 

Listen to the wind!

The exception of course,  to ground huggers are the birds. 

They look for a high point ... but there are no trees.

Sometimes only a foot off the ground on a rock pile road marker is best you can get!

 Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular.

 

Ger camp "Hotels" in the Gobi.

The northern pike here are often in the reeds!! 

Look for the bald eagle landing in a tree at the end of the video!

Squanga is a First Nations word for the whitefish that swim on the muddy bottom.

Longest Day of the Year - Sunset at Glacier Bay, Southeast Alaska

Sunsets last a long time up in Alaska.

The weather was stunning in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

The Glacier Bay Lodge at Bartlett Cove is just a short bus ride from the Gustavus Airport. 

We took photos directly from our room and then an hour and a half walk as the sun painted the sky.

Watch for the ripples of the little fish at the end of the video!
