Photo by kiliiiyuyan / A male snowy owl flies low over the tundra in search of lemmings near one of my favorite places, Teshekpuk Lake in Alaska. On Alaska’s North Slope, 2019 was a bumper year for lemmings, and snowy owls caring for their nests were busy feeding their families alongside millions of other nesting birds.⁠ My favorite spot on Earth is here, in the Alaskan Arctic. I know you have a place you love more than anything, and I encourage you to post images and tag them with #ShareYourSpot. Show us photos of your spot—from your kitchen window, a tent, or the top of a mountain peak. I’ll be curating submissions and featuring my favorites on natgeoyourshot. You can also follow me kiliiiyuyan for more from the Arctic.
