Photo by @alisonwrightphoto // Jean Stevens, native Eskimo woman in Bettles, Arctic Circle, Alaska.
I was photographing a story on the coldest places on the planet, Bettles being one of them. It was so cold my eyelashes actually froze. The northern light show was breathtaking but living here is not for the faint of heart. Jean, at 77-years-old, still runs the local post office and tears around on her snowmobile delivering the mail.
