Anaktuvuk Pass
Kaji and Kenji fly to Anaktuvuk Pass.
Anaktuvuk Pass is located beautiful valley at the middle of Brooks Range and we can see a lot of caribou around the village. Middle school students said "caribou will leave, when the snow disappear." We try to drill deeper as normal 5-6m. However, very frozen gravelly condition to allow us drilling as deep as 1.5m. We install one detalogger and to meet students before airplane pick us up!
