I tried to call CAA but they don’t take collect calls from a sat phone apparently. Had to settle for a long tow rope ride instead.

We are a week into our campaign today and will be switching gears to work with our LiDAR drone. The manufacturer says it’s -40 rated and it looks like we will be testing that 🥶

Snow pits and snow chemistry with a view. Collecting samples as we work our way up Eureka Sound to help out our Environment Canada colleagues in air quality.

Had a friend visit our snow pit. Took off with one of our gloves!

Won’t be leaving gloves laying around anymore while we’re working.

Lots of exposed surface on the second-year ice near Nansen Sound. The refrozen melt ponds are a stunning blue.

Been station bound the last two days with high winds (60 km/h) and low visibility. 🤞for better conditions tomorrow

Installed our ice mass balance buoy on the second year ice today. This will give us a view on what happens when we leave and the melt begins.

I guess the rest of the pack is curious about what we are doing way out on the ice.

Pack of 3 wolves on station sniffing around. They were interested in our gear again.

Let’s go Toronto Raptors! Arctic fans checking in from Eureka, Nunavut #wethenorth #tangerinefanangle

All packed up for the sealift south this summer. A lot went into this campaign and we are spent. Sad to be leaving but looking forward to the journey ahead.

Thanks to the staff at Eureka Weather Station for keeping our science going and for letting us take part in theirs. There really is no better place to run a campaign from my perspective. We’ll be back.

4 days and 4 planes later our small but mighty crew is home in Toronto/Ottawa. Offline for a bit to catch up with life.
