Days of Water and Mud

Navigating our repaired boat on a crossing in the Arctic Ocean, travelling between survey sites.

Caribou on the mudflats of the Okpilak river delta.

Taking a rest break on the only dry spot available while sampling for invertebrates on the Jago river delta.

On one of several unusally warm days we had this season, Steve Kendall and I cool off following a very long trek over the largest river delta in the survey. We were back in coats and hats minutes later!

A storm brewing over the brooks range, as we finished our survey on the Okpilak river delta and headed for Kaktovik in the growing winds and waves.
