Spring Equinox in Alaska

The sun’s apparent trajectory is illustrated in this in-camera multiple exposure made south of Bird Point on ice-choked Turnagain Arm. Eight exposures shot at 60-minute intervals were made on one frame of film beginning at 9:30 a.m. Center on the horizon is Mount Alpenglow, rising sharply 4,419 feet above the south shoreline of Turnagain Arm. This shot was taken near the spring equinox, the day when night and day are nearly the same length.
