In Resolute!

Hello Everyone,

Brr, well sort of, it was -30sC when we landed today but seems to have warmed up a bit.  Lucky for me I have a brand new Canada Goose Down Jacket which keeps me toasty warm in all conditions (I just picked this up in Yellowknife).  I haven't taken many photos yet, so expect those to come soon, and maybe some footage from my GoPro camera too.

Resolute is a great place, especially here on the Polar Continental Shelf Program base.  PCSP is a government program supporting Arctic research in Canada by providing logistical support.  They have an excellent hanger, a fabulous base/accommodations complex.  This past year  the base has expanded dramatically in size, with new facilities (labs, a gym, more beds, bigger mess).   The food here is always incredible, and now I even have a room to myself with my own shower (luxurious).

I will need to post some pictures soon as my desk is now a charging station.  Maybe tomorrow I'll shoot some video and take some pictures.


Well I should go sleep so I am ready for tomorrow.


Justin
