Stepping outside into the frosted world, the wind whipped into the sleeves of my jacket immediately chilling my skin. My heavy boots slightly resembling an astronaut's, trudge heavily through the snow. At thirty below zero my eye lashes begin to freeze together and with every inhale and exhale, my throat slightly burns as the water vapors freeze to the inside of my throat.
Looking up at the tree line, the sun barely touches the tree tops at noon. The winter days seem to be in perpetual twilight as the soft light casts a sunset glow across everything. The surrounding trees frozen with icicles shine as if they were strung with hanging diamond ornaments.
It's almost like a fairytale, everywhere I look is a photo worthy of a postcard. The extremes of the North Pole are so harsh that the surrounding environment keeps me in awe. Taking a break from staring aimlessly at the scenery, I embrace the harshness and step further into the woods in search of nothing.
Nice photos, last year I have an amazing journey to the North pole with poseidonexpeditions.com/northpole/ Poseidonexpeditions, it was awesome, if you want to spend unusual and amazing vacation this is exactly what you're looking for.
