Working my way through some images from Barrow, Alaska last June. I blew right past this one upon first review, but came back to it this evening. While the subject is small in the frame, the image shows the soggy tundra and the beautiful grasses. This isn't a pond, (mid-calf deep) but more of a bog from the melted snow and water kept above ground thanks to the perma-frost. The eiders just work their way around in it, foraging for food. Don't know how this happened, but I did not get a single mosquito in this frame. :)
