2017, Arrigetch Peaks, Gates of the Arctic National Park, AK | The Arrigetch Peaks are just about as remote as you can get within the United States. They are located in Alaska’s Gates of the Arctic National Park, the country’s least visited national park and the most difficult to access. Getting here requires a flight to Fairbanks, a long drive north of the Arctic Circle on the unpaved and rugged Dalton Highway, a 100-mile flight via bush plane (which lands on a rocky riverbank), and then a half-day off-trail hike through dense wilderness and clouds of mosquitos. There are no roads, trails, or services in all 8.4 million acres of this park and the only way to communicate with the outside world is via satellite phone. We explored this area for five days and the sun didn’t set the entire time. It will be hard, if not impossible, to top this experience!
Camera Details: Canon 6D, 17mm

Detailed descriptions of print material options can be found below.
Metal: A sleek, modern option that can be mounted without a frame for a floating appearance. Printed via dye sublimation on ChromaLuxe aluminum sheets—the highest-quality metal on the market. These prints are incredibly durable and will last for 65+ years without fading. An aluminum float mount backing is included. These work best in homes with modern styling or in high-traffic areas. Aluminum thickness: 1/16”
Acrylic: Printed on high-resolution, gallery-quality metallic paper, which is then mounted behind clear acrylic. These prints provide a luminous 3D look, especially when lit from the front. A 3/4” aluminum backing mount is included, which gives the print a floating appearance when hung. Acrylic prints are my personal favorite, as their depth really brings images to life. Acrylic thickness: 1/4”
Canvas: Printed on archival-quality canvas, which is then stretched around a wooden frame made with USA-grown pine. These prints are rated to last 100 years without fading or yellowing. Canvas prints typically look best in homes with more rustic styling and they are generally mounted without a frame. Canvas thickness: 1.5”
Paper Prints: Options include glossy, matte, or metallic paper. Glossy prints are ideal if you want bright, vibrant colors with a high degree of shine and you don’t plan on using a glass frame. Matte paper works better if the photo will be displayed behind glass or in a room with direct sunlight. Since they lack shine and reflectivity, they aren’t quite as vivid as glossy prints. Metallic prints are printed on Moab Slickrock paper and take on a more dramatic, iridescent quality. They generally have a higher perceived value and work best with colorful images. This paper is sturdy and fingerprint-resistant. These all come unframed, but can be framed upon request for an additional fee.
