North Pole Photos, 1997 (Thumbnail Images)
Whenever I see North Pole photos from ground level (or from a plane), it always seems like the horizon is truncated, as if it drops off sooner because there's a steeper curve to the earth. Does any one else get that feeling?

Click on any photo to get the full size version. To fully appreciate these photos, you should have a graphics card capable of supporting thousands of colors. Most newer PCs or Macs have this capability. If you have a 15" monitor or smaller, you may need to scroll to see all of an image when viewing the whole photo. I tried to strike a balance between loss of detail and accommodating smaller monitors.
*** If all the pictures look dark*****...** We're still working on standards in the computer industry to fix this problem. Many of these images were processed on a Macintosh, which has different color standards than PCs. To make matters even worse, even from one PC to another colors aren't consistent! Web standards are evolving to address this problem, but for now, if these pictures seem dark, try increasing your monitor brightness, and they will likely look much better.
