Day 13 Rainy Day in Atqasuk

The runway was too wet to fly today, so we couldn't do much work. We did go to the freshwater lake to take gas samples, the wind was causing a lot of waves so we couldn't take good samples. Since there was no work to be done, this gave us an excuse to fish. We went to a little stream that was a foot across at parts, to fish for Arctic Grayling. These fish live in small, cold streams and they have very limited food. That means they'll eat anything. We kept eight fish, and cooked them with onions, peppers, and garlic. This was paired with Mac N' Cheese, and it all made for a very good dinner.
