You find yourself at Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. Are you in a dream? Are you awake? It’s almost midnight but the sky is still filled with an eerie dreamlike light.  

The land of the midnight sun allows for endless dreamy hours of glacier watching moments.

The formation of a glacier requires three conditions: abundant snowfall, cool summers, and the gravitational flow of ice. All of these conditions are met in Kenai Fjords. Moist air moving off the Gulf of Alaska in the winter drops, on average, 60 feet of snowfall on the Harding Icefield every year. These perfect conditions are why nearly 51 percent of the park is covered by ice.

White Sands National Park in New Mexico, a place like no other on earth, is a marvel to study, experience, and explore. The monsoon season begins in July and lasts into late September. These months bring much needed rain and great moments for photographs like this.
