And here's a few black and white images to follow on from yesterday's post, because, as usual we took far too many photos! For those who didn't see yesterday's post , these are images from the paddlewheel

Across the Yukon river from Dawson City lie the abandoned, decaying remains of several of the Paddlewheel boats that plied the river in bygone days. These days the river routes have mostly been replaced

Looking back at our photos from driving the Dempster highway to Inuvik in Canada really does just make me want to do the whole thing all over again. There's something magic about those limitless wide open

When we drove north to Inuvik on the Dempster Highway in Canada, that was the end of the line in the summer. Now there is a year round road further north to Tuktoyaktuk. I guess this extra road means we'll

It became a bit of a habit later in our travels to take photos of building frontages square on and collect a sort of mosaic or tapestry of images from small towns we visited, now, looking back at photos

Dawson City (our first stop in Canada) is a gold rush town frozen in time. It was the centre of the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon in the late 1800s. Walking the dusty streets you feel transported back

The vast, wild expanses that stretch to the distant looking out from the narrow ribbon of road that is the Top of the World Highway reminded us just how far we had to go on our journey. At this stage we

Alaskas 800 mile long Trans-Alaska oil pipeline was a constant roadside companion for the duration of our drive along the Dalton Highway, but we also crossed paths with the pipeline during the rest of

Denali, the tallest peak in North America towers over the surrounding mountains. Usually with a summit wrapped in impenetrable cloud, by all accounts. We had booked our time camping at Wonder Lake campground

"We're gonna start shooting…" Not what you expect to wake up to… Every time I see this photo it reminds me of one of the most abrupt wake-up calls we had on our travels. We didn't want to splash

We're going back through the photo archives —it turns out we took a lot of photos of the trusty 4Runner that took us all the way from Alaska to Argentina. It wasn't just our car, it was our home for three

Well, the beginning of the road really. The end of the road north. The beginning of the road south. Either way, we ran out of north to drive when we arrived in Deadhorse in Prudhoe Bay, Alaksa, on the

The road north, the Dalton highway takes you 414 miles from the Elliot highway, (north of Fairbanks) to Deadhorse, on the shores of the Arctic ocean. After crossing the low mountains of the Atigun pass,

Look a bit closer at the photo below and you'll see the creature that is most likely to bite you while you travel through Alaska. Oh, sorry, not the bear, look a bit closer. Yep. That's right. That close.

A few more photos from around Kennecott—thought we were done sharing these then I spotted a few more in the archive that probably should have made it to the last post! The abandoned town of Kennecott is

Hundreds of empty windows gaze blankly from the front of the ramshackle 14 floor copper concentration building in Kennecott, Alaska. We ended up visiting this spectacular ghost town on the advice of a

This would have to be the most spectacular ghost town we have visited to date. Kennecott, a former copper mining town, is located a few miles out of McCarthy Alaska in Wrangell—St Elias National Park and

So it turns out that we have a few more Alaskan wildlife pictures in the travel photo archives. This was the moose who was just hanging out at the campground one morning. This chap did not look impressed,

While I'm not a Nat Geo quality wildlife photographer by any stretch of the imagination, it still seems worth it to share some of the photos of Alaskan wildlife that we spotted during our travels in the

One thing we loved about Alaska is how convenient the glaciers are to visit. This one is the Matanuska Glacier, north of Anchorage, just off a main highway, you can drive right up to it. And once you've
