Ivotuk trip this morning with 7 other researchers by a small plane. We were dropping off Amorita, Dave, and Adrian for their 3 day research project along with over 900 pounds of research equipment! 4 other people came along due to extra seats left in the plane, which meant that I got to see MOUNTAINS again!!
Boarding.
Fog below, clouds above.
Tundra and lakes.
Mountains!! - need I say more?
Yes, there is a small (tiny) research tent-village down there!
So close, yet so far... I only stayed in Ivotuk for about 30 minutes before flying off!
Flowers
Along with tussock are wild blueberries (not shown) and salmon berries (both taste great).
