Here are a selection of some, but by no means all, of the most interesting images from Billy's time in the Arctic. On this page are photos of people, mostly Billy, but also some of the folks he encountered during his Arctic Sojourn. For other subject matter, see these pages: Aerials • Around Newfoundland • Planes • Ice and Snow
Many more photos, including higher resolution versions of some of the images on these pages, can be seen in these Flickr Albums: Arctic Sojourn • Arctic Sojourn: Scenery. The Albums also include scans of notes written on the reverse of some of the photographs, and transcripts of other labels. Color images are from slides; black and white are from photographic prints.
