After six months of a cold, dark winter, the extended sunlight in Alaska begins its work on the frozen-over region, melting away the ice and giving everything a glossy sheen.
Warm winter weather diminished much of the ice and snow south of Anchorage. But what remained gleamed in the sunshine on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, along Turnagain Arm, in Girdwood and on Portage Lake.

Extended periods of fog add a frosty beauty to Anchorage scenery.
