We finally made it! The twin otter had a perfect landing on Mars, with one extra bounce for good measure. Apparently it's never "smooth sailing" all the way to Devon. Folks either get stuck in Iqaluit or Resolute, and we were lucky to only be stuck one extra night. Iqaluit was amasing, and I will post pictures next. I did, unfortunately, zap my long, detailed journal entry from yesterday (minor glitch there) but I will get it on here tomorrow, along with an description of today's events. It's been a busy busy day, it's almost midnight here and breakfast is at 7:30AM, so it's time for bed. I'm off to my tent to dream of Mars. It didn't seem too cold once we got here, but by now (11:30pm) the wind has really picked up and WOOOOO, it's chilly. Once I'm in my zero degree rated mummy sleeping bag in my specially ordered military long underwear, I'm sure I'll be fine.
good night!
