Take a hike through time on this photographic exploration of Denali.  Using photographs as our map, we’ll explore for the exact locations where other photographers stood decades ago.  If successful, we’ll re-take the image and examine the differences between past and present.  Has the vegetation changed?  What about glaciers or other physical features?  Are there any traces of cultural sites left on the landscape?  With geologist and photographer Ron Karpilo, we’ll examine these questions and discuss the importance of repeat photography for long term monitoring of Denali’s resources.
