A subdivision near Nome, Alaska.

Alaska between Nome and Anchorage is a constantly evolving landscape of ice and snow. From the windblown surface of Norton Sound to winding stripes of frozen river to towering peaks of the Alaska Range, view our state from 4,800 feet above the earth's surface.

Judges’ comments for the category

Aside from the first place winner, this was a weak category overall. One entry would have placed if it had captions.
First place winner was beautifully executed and toned. The second place winner had some nice images, but is very repetitive. Half of the images could easily have been cut out. The Third place winner had a few nice-looking images with great color, but lacked moments and depth.
