OT - An Arctic Summer

Hello Everyone,

This summer I was fortunate enough (some would argue otherwise) to spend the months of June, July and August living in one of the few remaining wildernesses on our planet.

I was conducting research involving fun things like high arctic carbon cycling and hypersaline lakes. The study site was on Melville Island at 75 degrees north in Nunavut/NWT, Canada.

I know a few people on here were interested in my pictures. Here are a few out of thousands... I'm still converting and tweaking them. It turns out taking the pictures is the easy part :)

As always, please let me know what you think.

The snow begins to melt and the rivers start to run again.

100mph+ winds sustained for hours and hours.
 
that looks so remote, lots of soul searching out there. Is the water in those distant pools that blue?
 
That is so tremendously great that you did that. Memories for a lifetime... Thanks for sharing those pictures- and if you put any more on-line I'd love to see those too.
Thanks!
