Videos from Hadley Bay mission

Here are some videos from the journey up past the 72nd parallel:

Within minutes, can see the tide dropping - up and down 8 feet every 6 hours.

Checking shotgun. (click here)

Caribou peeking around corner 1/2 hour after I arrived.

He probably saw me land and came over to investigate.

The animals here are very curious and approachable.

Trout too

2 month old Arctic Fox kit nearly stole my camera down his hole.

(But I outfoxed the fox - the camera was tied above to a big rock).

Here is a candid shot of the little mischievous one.  If you look close, you can see the mosquitoes hovering that are annoying him.
