Hello Everyone, well I have finally had a good nights sleep and have some energy (and a fast enough internet connection) to write a blog post. Over the past week we have all been exceedingly busy collecting measurements out on the sea ice for long days. We had an extremely successful Cryosat-2 validation campaign (CryoVEx). We are now back in Resolute and are busy entering in and compiling all of the data.
I once again did not take many photographs, I have several hours of HD video footage (none of which is particularly amazing) but still quite cool. I also misplaced my camera for a few days. But here are a few photos.
The highlight of today was that as we were finishing packing up the plane to leave Alert we paused to take a group photo by the CFS Alert sign. I laid my backpack down on the ground. The wolves that live at Alert were hanging around and as we walked to our photo spot I remarked that it might not be the best idea to leave my pack (with food in it) lying on the ground, but oh well I thought. However, no sooner had we gathered to pose, the wolf ran up and grabbed my backpack and started to carry it off. I had to chase him down.

Other than that, being the geek that I am I found some cool ice crystals growing one day.
That is all for today
