2026 Iditarod Ceremonial Start

The 2026 Iditarod kicked off on a very snowy morning in Anchorage with the ceremonial start. Big crowds downtown on 4th Avenue and all along the route. It’s one big tailgate party!

A bit of color last night.

A short show just before 10pm that gave us a bit of color for the night. Click on the images for full-screen.

First aurora of 2026.

Woke up at 3am to a very active aurora display. Not crazy colorful, but it was dancing across the sky in waves of energy. A fun one to watch.
