Great to see where you are Tom - it does look rather barren. Shd be some good auroras and big skies though. I guess you'll see a big change in the weather over a month at this time of year.
Looking forward to more shots - keep safe,
Cheers
Dad

Yep, big skys up here, you can see for a very long way. Very few plants, nothing mote than 10cm tall, mostly boulders and cryoturbated gravel/mud. The permafroft goes down to 300m in areas here. nit sure how close to the surface it is at the moment. There are a few patches of snow around, I guess they may be sitting on permafrost.

Safty is a very big thing up here, we have a survival bag on the grid we are surveying, it contains a tent and supplies for 4 days.
