Early morning light breaking through the trees revealed this beautiful sight while traveling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Taken at an altitude of roughly 1500ft and 20 miles from the Arctic Ocean. The flowers here are roughly 2 inches tall and have called a rocky precipice home.

Photographed in the foreground is Arctic Phlox along with a variety of other arctic wildflowers. [tags]Arctic Refuge, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, ANWR, Arcti
