Cantwell
This is exciting news! Cantawell school can join us to establish permafrost station.Cantwell School Principal and Science Teacher (Peter Hauschka) support our program. Tohru and Kenji leave 5:30am at Fairbanks for catching 9am science class at Cantwell. Cantawell is about160 mile south of Fairbanks (It takes about 3 hour drive). We made on time and great time with students. after the lecture, we had a big challenge to find permafrost. This area is sporadic permafrost region and thick glacial till and outwash (gravel and boulder!). It is not favable to drill and to look for permafrost. Finally, we success to find permafrost by opinion from local residence.
