Helicopter

Was amazing to see the Delta from the air today. Creeks, rivers, and lakes like these as far as you could see...

We hired a helicopter to take us to a couple of the lakes that aren't accessible by snowmobile, where we took some pretty long cores in balmy, sunny weather.

On the way home, got a great aerial view of Inuvik, where we've been working with the very nice folks at the Aurora Research Institute (www.nwtresearch.com).


Besides that lonely construction sign, my favorite spot on the MacKenzie River ice road is the frozen-to-the-road big ship gauntlet near Inuvik.

Today was our last day of sampling, and it was a fun one. Tomorrow we pack our gear, and Saturday we start the trip home. Hope all are doing well, stay in touch, and thanks for checking out the blog.

Peace,
