I hope you are all doing well. I am quite exhausted. Just finished entering daa and it is now 12:50am. We were on the ice today at noon, back for supper then back out on the ice from 6:30 until 11:45. We did another multiyear site today, complete with drilling, coring and EM measurements and were finished in time for dinner. Unfortunately one of the skidoos broke down so Christian rode home on the sledge we pull behind each skidoo.
We then went back out after supper to tow the skidoo back to Alert, and also to try to fix the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) IMB that we deployed on May 5.
Now I am fighting to stay away to write this blog so that I can go to bed for just under 6 hours so that we can do more tomorrow.
HOWEVER, the great news is that our helicopter has finally arrived. Bad weather in Resolute and Eureka had prevented the helicopter from arriving here on time, such is the way of the Arctic.
Well I was going to put another movie up for you all, but right now I am so tired I think the movie will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry but I need my beauty sleep (I guess you can say I am always tired)…haha. Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to post a short video from today.
Cheers
Justin
