23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Path through Frozen Forest

A narrow road cuts quietly through an Alaskan forest after a fresh snowfall. Every branch is coated in white, softening the landscape into complete stillness. In the deep cold of winter this path becomes a rare moment of solitude, a glimpse of the quiet, enduring beauty that defines the far north.
