The sunsets in Bethel are absolutely gorgeous. Often, when my roommates can see a good one coming on, we throw on our quaspuks (a traditional Yupik "hoodie"), fur hats, and boots (all to fend off the bugs) and run onto the tundra. As the giant sky deepens into different shades of orange, red, and purple, we run around trying to take it all in. Here are a few pictures of my favorite tundra night thus far.
This is what tundra looks like.

Fran and I were inspired.
But Mike definitely went the farthest.
