Mountain House Ruth Glacier
Fly with TAT - Thursday, January 13, 2011
Norio Matsumoto arriving at the Ruth glacier for a 40 day stay to photograph the northern lights. Norio has spent over 500 winter days living Igloo style in the Alaska Range during the past 12 years. Please look at some of his work at http://www.braingiants.com/noriomatsumoto/gallery.html
Kris breaking trail to the Ruth Mountain House. Photos by Talkeetna Air Taxi
The first views of the Mountain House of the 2011 season. Very little snow accumulation, looks as if most of it was blown clean. Made for an easy entrance. Usually one has to shovel an entrance to find the door.
The Grand Opening!!! Kris did not find any squatters.
