May as well keep going on with this morning post and flight, actually I am not sure if we were landing or taking off, but on this pic you can see the reason why we had to go there, a weather station, part of the international high atmosphere study network, twice a day , a weather balloon, inflated with hydrogen would be launched and while it went up to 100 km high into the atmosphere, it was relaying all kinds of meteorological data, which would be used to make long term weather forecast by studying how the Jet Stream was behaving. For my part I did not go to this particular station often, in fact this was the only time, this one was ‘too south’ for us to take in a crew, the Inuit administration was taking care of building and road maintenance, we would go there for the equipment, and this was not my field of expertise, in fact I am not sure what was my field of expertise…I was there to plan the work, do a bit of measuring, taking notes, answering crew men questions, helping them if I can, so I guess I was a bit of a Jack of all trades, and expert in none, so sometimes I just took pictures, just for the fun of being there and feeling very lucky to be there.
