I'm fairly certain it's Dryas integrifolia, the entire leaf mountain avens. Mainly due to the fact it has more than 8 petals, which is uncommon in D. alaskensis and D. octopetela. The petals also look more lanceolate than round. Although the leaves are slightly dentate, which would be uncommon with integrifolia, but not unheard of. Dryas can be really difficult to distinguish in the field, and they are thought to hybridize. My next bet would be on D. alaskensis.

Intro to the broad range of topics to be covered in my Physics of Photography Series - light and electromagnetic waves, the camera obscura, image formation, aberrations, geometrical optics, the physics of exposure, and more!

I'm very excited that after a long delay, this series is finally gaining feet. The next article will cover the many ways in which photography is used in various scientific fields.

Excited to finally share the first installment of my Physics of Photography series! This introductory article lays the groundwork for my passion and motivation behind the project.

A fresh dusting of snow reveals the wall of a crevasse on the Gulkana Glacier in the Eastern Alaska Range. The waterfall into the glacier makes this place feel surreal.

Here's my hiking guide to the area: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-guide/gulkana-glacier-hike/
