Some catch up shots from last week

Out by the Forward Operating Base near the airport - sunset looking across the tarmac of the main runway, -36


The previous weekend, near the barges which are overwintering by town and a nice crack developing the ice road



Later in the day by Caribou Hills - looking inside one of the original buildings used by the Reindeer herders, lots of rabbit and fox tracks around the buildings and heavy truck traffic is now on the ice road


Even later on the same day I went skiing further north as the snow is now setting up quite nicely, -38 though. Was able to get some decent turns in before dusk. Got back to the truck in time to watch two rock trucks drive up the ice road - obviously they are too heavy to truck up at 40 tonnes or so. I could feel the ice move and shift as they went by and the road was heavily cracked after they passed by.
