Let’s try this again! #GoJetsGo Big Game 5 tonight with Gabe back in!. Btw, we’ve passed 300m deep in the ice cap! Over halfway there.

Pretty awesome! For the record, 10 of us are camping through -30°s on the Muller ice cap at 80°N attempting to recover a 600m ice core, which would be the longest in canadian history & provide a 10,000yr climate record! And yes we can stream the @NHLJets!.
As True North as you can get 🥶. Jets fan and @umanitoba scientist David Babb is cheering us on from near the 80th parallel north in Nunavut!

What a win by the @NHLJets. Getting the complete breakdown from Kenny and Renny (@snseanreynolds & @WiebesWorld) during my Sunday morning walk on our skiway on the Müller ice cap at 80°N. #GoJetsGo

@ceos_um It's a mix of excitement and nerves working on just 45 cm of sea ice about 20 km from the station with high winds during polar night. Months of preparation and a strict safety plan, which included loads of thickness measurements along the route, meant everything went well.

Back from two weeks at Eureka where we deployed equipment on the newly formed sea ice (~45 cm). No sun, but we lucked out with a clear full moon that made for some pretty incredible views. Fingers crossed everything works until we return in May! @ceos_um

Back from an incredible 3 weeks onboard the @CoastGuardCAN Des Groseilliers doing CTDs through the Canadian Arctic during its annual run to Eureka. Managed to push right up to the edge of the arctic ice pack at the entrance to Nansen Sound, sampling areas not sampled in 50 years.
