This would have to be my favorite image from my recent winter trip to BC + AK.
This was taken during take off from a tiny icy airstrip in Cordova, Alaska on the way to Anchorage. Cordova is the northernmost year round ice free port in north America, and with just a few winter residents Alaskan Airlines has to land its 737 there as part of the essential services program...

If you want "frontier", you should try and add a second wing, in the upper section of the image. :)


Great image, Scott, of what truly appears to be some remarkably beautiful country.
