Scenes of Shishmaref

Sunrise around 11:30 a.m.
Caribou skins drying.

The "road" by the cemetery.

Simple grasses plus winter's magic equal exquisite beauty.

Artic sidewalk after a visit from Jack Frost.

A shopper walks home pulling her purchases from the Shishmaref Native Store.

Freight sled with winter's gilding.

Greta on the shore of the Chukchi Sea (-18 degrees).

Some of the dogs of Shishmaref. There are at least six teams of huskies in the village.
Shishmareh was the home of legendary Iditarod musher, Henry "Cannonball" Nayokpuk.
