Shot on 8mm film in 1977, this vintage home movie captures ducks flying over an ice-covered cove in Glacier Bay, Alaska. The grainy, purple-tinted footage shows birds taking flight from a frozen shoreline, their silhouettes contrasting against the icy landscape. The sequence transitions to the birds gliding over rippling water, with gentle ripples reflecting the muted light. The natural, unsteady camera movement and film grain evoke a nostalgic, archival feel, offering a rare glimpse of Alaskan wildlife in a remote, frozen environment.
