After weeks of skiing around nunataks on the #Kaskawulsh Glaicier in the #Yukon, the group I was with encountered a strange weather pattern that brought thick ground fog up from the coast every morning, making it impossible for our plane to land and pick us up. For five days were were trapped. To pass the time I wrote in my journal and read #JackLondon. He wrote about people freezing or starving to death_I have since decided that I London is not the best thing to read when you are stuck on a glacier and not sure when you are going home. Early in the morning we were up making coffee, happy to see a clear sky. As our #guide #SianWilliams and I wondered out loud if this might be the day we get to go home, a rainbow appeared over our camp. I went for my camera and then saw a huge wall of fog coming down the glacier. Sian walked toward it on the way to her tent and I kept shooting. I figured that the rainbow would disappear but it just turned white. There is a technical explanation for this: I was actually seeing a second #rainbow, white rather then multicolored because of the way that fog droplets scatter light. But to me it was a ground #fog trapped in a rainbow, just as we were trapped in the fog. @naygeo @instituteArtist @thephotosociety @RobertClarkphoto
