The Polar Express Expedition - Alaska & the Arctic

I have lived in Alaska for nearly four years working in the energy exploration business up in the North Slope in the Arctic Territory. During those four years I have explored most of this great land and covered it from the southern part (Bristol Bay) to the northern part of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
