Caribou and Aufeis

We woke to a warm, sunny morning. Several small herds of caribou appeared out of the drainage and walked along the aufeis to head for the hills on the other side of our camp. They were beautiful against the blue-white of the ice and Marilyn wished she could get a close-up picture.

When the next small herd (15-20) appeared, I crouched down and approached them, arms over my head like antlers. (Well... I don't think they were fooled, but I was able to get closer.) When I got close enough to get a good shot, I stood up with my camera and took these pictures.
