Into the Field!

So, not much of a post right now - but this is a fun video so I wanted to share it. Given that we are out on the tundra, with snow drifts in tree zones easily over 6 feet deep, snowshoeing is not much of an option for us. So when we need to get way out from the study center what do we do?

We ride the Quamatuks!



I hope to have another video like this detailing what we are actually working on once we have taken our ride out into the field each day.

Starman also predicts some fantastic "Auroral Displays" tonight, so be on the lookout for some photos.

Stay Tuned!

  2. Erica and Mary -

    Believe it or not - once we start digging our snow pits and walking around, we were all able to stay quite warm. I even took my jacket off a lot so I didn't start sweating! If you like the idea of traveling and having an adventure, i think you would absolutely love spending some time in the Arctic.
