The ULTIMATE arctic experience...

Well today was a terrific arctic day... blue skies, very few clouds, and temperatures hovered at 32 degrees. We spent the morning searching for animals and had a chance to see polar bears, red fox, arctic hares, snow geese, and tundra swans. The animals were awesome! We took a break from the research and finally had a chance to experience off-roading in the arctic backcountry. After seeing the animals in land we headed off to a few miles out to the ocean and soaked in the sun along the shores of the Hudson Bay. As we hiked back to our vehicle it began to snow. My smile right now is so big because I have experienced all that I wanted to see here in the arctic... The Northern Lights, Polar Bears, and Snow!
