Day 9 Atqasuk Field Work

Today started the field work that we'll be doing in Atqasuk. Jim dropped Dr. Hinkel and Chris off at a lake, where they hiked to retrieve a meteorological station. While they were doing their work, Jim came back to the airport. At the airport, Jim picked up Frida and me. He brought us out to three lakes, where Frida did water samples and I took air samples. The day was fun, but cold and wet. After lunch, Chris, Frida, and I  went out on the lake to take air samples. We also brought a GoPro to capture the amazing footage of methane bubbles in the lake! Dr. Townsend-Small made the most comforting of comfort foods, lasagna. After dinner, Dr.Townsend-Small and I picked salmon berries, there were a lot of them.  We all had a really good day.

The beloved salmon berries.

Those orange dots are the prize, salmon berries.
