Permafrost outreach 2009

Kenji meet teachers and students in the morning at Ambler. After class talk, we go out to see frost tube. Dr.B support and arrange very nicely this morning and she want us to drill another hole for farther site. I promise to drill the way back to Kotzebue.
Today's snowmachine trip is a piece of cake! It is beautiful weather nice trail only 32 mile away to Shungnak!
We enjoy blue sky, sun shine, mountain, moose, caribou within a hour ride.
When we are at Shungnak high school science teacher (Greg) tell us just ready to talk!!
We meets good students and nice questions!
After the classroom, we head up to the Kobuk. Kobuk is 8 mile away from here. We plan to visit for frost tube installation. Once we are Kobuk, we drill and talk teacher/students within a hour then head back to Shungnak.
Everything goes well such sunny day. It makes so easy, if we have sun shine and warmer weather!
We drill frost tube and permafrost monitoring station in Shungnak. It takes 2 horse. After the installation we go to our house for dinner! Again we have nice treat! Principal Kitza give us to stay nice small warm house including big arctic entry!
