Who says the Arctic is all about ice? Not the locals, that’s for sure. Basketball is a big deal in the villages around this part of the north. We had a blast watching the finals of the Lonnie O’Connor Iditarod Basketball Classic in Nome. Some of the players from Gambell, in blue, were taking time…

Reunion photo! Eric Guth and I sprint to the Iditarod finish line in Nome, Alaska. This is #meetthenorth ‘s 5th country and this famous burled arch is a great place to start. We’re just back from a week in the backcountry, so stay tuned for some jaw-dropping Alaska coming soon. #finishline #iditarod2017 #iditarod #arcticlife #sprinttothefinish #north…
