Setting up our lab on the tundra

This weekend we started setting up our instruments in the lab on Cake Eater Road outside of Barrow on the tundra near the Barrow Environmental Observatory ("undisturbed" land).

Tonight we had baked trout, brown rice, and broccoli for dinner in our hut.  The baked trout, prepared by Kyle, was super yummy!
