Since I have a bit of time to spare right now (and because it would mean working on my thesis or packing otherwise) I thought I'd write another blog post. Today there will even be a few photos from the past couple of days. I have tried to avoid photographing somethings for now, as I'll photograph them again in Alert, and otherwise some stuff I photographed last year already (see earlier in Blog).
Some of you may know that I recently purchased a GoPro camera for this trip and for some of my other ones. I hope to give you all more of an insight into some of the amazingly excellent things I get to do. I really am a lucky person to visit this remote locations (there is a reason the joke name for Resolute is actually Desolate). Well the GoPro for those who don't know is a small wearable, waterproof camera that shoots HD video.
Unfortunately, this means I cannot share the video with you now (maybe when I get back to Yellowknife) or for sure when I am home again, but I hope to put together a nice little video. Here is a few photos that will have to tide you over until then.

Alert will be interesting this year as the base will be quite full due to a military exercise. Plus we will be landing on the sea ice with a plane instead of a helicopter this time.
Well I think that wraps up this blog, I've been playing with ffmpeg and MPEG streamclip to try to post a short clip but so far no luck.
Maybe I'll have to get Final Cut Express or something
Well that's all for now
