Drove south and home via an alternate route including a stop for a night at the Gakona Glacier. Hiked up to the ice caves upon arrival. Beautiful place! Pics are out of order, don't care.

Arctic Trip Day 8: Deadhorse
Went to the Arctic Ocean via the drilling fields, which requires a tour bus do to security. Quick swim in the industrial Beaufort Sea, then drive back south 60 miles to camp.
