Chukchi Sea Ice


Sea ice. So what? 
It's a big deal here. 
Once the Chukchi Sea freezes, the shores of Shismaref 
will be protected from the storms that ravage her shore. 
So sea ice is a big deal here. 
In the two weeks that we've been here, 
we have watched the Chukchi go from open water to ice as far as one can see to open water with ice floes. 




No matter--it's always a beautiful view, and we can see it from our window!
