Summit ridge of Denali as seen from the summit, Alaska
22nd February 2007
The story behind the image
Almost the longest day of the year, we summited on 22nd of June. Though Denali is just a few degrees south of the Arctic circle, due to the altitude we had enough light to climb day and night as the sun never really sets, bringing life even in this remote part of the world…
This image is shot from the actual summit (6194m/20320ft), looking back at the summitridge where some climbers are descending.
Shot with a 30mm on Canon EOS 3, on Provia 64 slide, scanned later.

The lone people on the ridge make for such a nice contrast to the snow line. Amazing shot. So clear!
