We arrived in Cherskiy last night after two grueling flights across eight time zones from Mosocw to Yakutsk to Cherskiy. However, we landed in Cherskiy to clear, cool, and windy conditions – ideal for keeping the bugs down. The landscape is gorgeous and fun to see through the eyes of the students new to the Arctic. We celebrated the fourth of July with a toast to our Russian hosts and all have a solid night of sleep on the barge. It is great to be back.
The internet connection was down last night but is up this morning. We hope that by Wednesday we’ll have more reliable connections and the students can start sharing their thoughts and pictures. More soon.
