Blasting Along the Alaska Highway, Yukon

A huge blast during reconstruction of the Alaska Highway at Kluane Lake, Yukon. Patience paid off here - the blast was delayed for well over an hour, so I'd been standing by the side of the highway with my camera set up on a tripod for almost 2 hours when it finally went off. July 1991.
