RESOLUTE IN MY DESIRE TO GO NORTH

Hello again everyone, well it is day two and I am already doing better than last year for writing blog posts (I think).

Today was our only (hopefully; provided the weather co-operates tomorrow) day in Resolute Bay, NU.  In Resolute we stay at the Polar Contintental Shelf Program Base, a very luxurious set of buildings with a kitchen, laundry, showers, hot water, beds, etc.  There is excellent food, and I always eat way too much.

Today was spent organizing equipment, testing equipment and generally just getting ready to go to Alert.  We packed our equipment onto one of the airplanes and then tomorrow morning at 7:30 am we will load ourselves onto the second airplane.

Below is just a few pictures from while I was walking about, doing work etc.
