Winter Sunrise Over Turnagain Arm

The first light of day paints the snow-covered peaks surrounding Turnagain Arm with soft golden hues as drifting sea ice blankets the frozen tidal waters below. Captured near Girdwood along the Seward Highway, this sweeping winter panorama showcases the dramatic beauty of Alaska's Chugach Mountains, where rugged wilderness, towering glaciers, and one of the world's most extreme tidal inlets create an unforgettable landscape. The peaceful morning light and pristine snow highlight the raw grandeur of one of Alaska's most iconic scenic corridors. #TurnagainArm #ChugachMountains #ChugachNationalForest #SewardHighway #Girdwood #Anchorage #Alaska #Winter #Snow #MountainLandscape #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Panorama #FrozenLandscape #ScenicDrive #LandscapesAndNature #EngelPhotography
