"Cass" Cassim
On the Road - Alaska and Canada

As one of Viewpoint West's Antarctica photographers, Cass thought it was time to see some of the sites at the northern end of the world. The views to be seen in Alaska and Canada were as spectactular as can be seen anywhere on earth.

The trip started with kayaking around South Sawyer Glacier, to the south of Juneau. The ice calving from the face of the glacier was rather exciting when up close. From Juneau, it was up to Denali National Park, down to Kenai Peninsula, across to Misty Fjords National Monument, a quick stop at Hazelton, then to Mount Robson, and on to Jasper and Banff National Parks.

The only slightly unfortunate part of the trip was that out of the 40+ days spent touring around, it rained on 30 of them. Catching some nice light became a real challenge, as did keeping the camera gear dry. Still, as Cass says, "the experience of being up close to some of the most accessible icefields in this part of the world was worth every drop of rain... although next time I will definitely be checking the weather forecast first".

The photos shown here represent just some of the beautiful scenes that were captured during the trip, adding to the great variety of other scenic images already held by Viewpoints West. We hope you enjoy looking through them.
