Traveling across the Arctic isn鈥檛 easy no matter how you do it, but Palmer, Alaska-based photographer Fredrik Norrsell and his wife, Nancy Pfeiffer, thought the winter landscape of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, north of the Brooks Range, would make for a nice ride. In April 2014, the couple covered about 75 miles using the wind and skis near the village of Kaktovik on the northern coast of Alaska. While most of the expedition was slow-going, with good conditions, at times Norrsell and Pfeiffer could get going near 10 miles per hour, with loaded sleds, just using the power of the wind. Here, Norrsell shares a few memories of the cold, breezy adventure. Norrsell: Finally, after days of waiting, the wind began to blow and we were able to put our kites to the test.

Between fresh crab and salmon, and foraged mushrooms and other vegetation, the couple lived like kings. Here, Norrsell explains how they did it.
