We get our first view of the Arctic Ocean as our two biplanes fly over the
tundra of the northern Chukotka region. The northern horizon is bluish-grey
except for the white patches: icebergs. As winter approaches, polar ice will
stretch clear to the shoreline. The other biplane skirts through occasional
clouds, then passes back out into bright spots of sunshine. Soon we are flying
in tandem, crossing back and forth along the shoreline.
