In 2007 I had a few images selected for publication in a souvenir stamp set commemorating the International Polar Year, which extends from March 2007 to March 2009. The two photos selected represent the people and wildlife of the arctic region, and were taken here in Alaska. The IPY is a large scientific program that will involve over 200 projects, including thousands of scientists from over 60 nations. They will examine a wide range of physical, biological and social research topics focusing on the Arctic and Antarctic.
