Preparing sea ice surface for black dirt experiments with Isachsen in background. In measured 1.0 meter squares different dirt materials were laid to measure heat absorption from the suns rays and to measure impact of melting on sea ice. Note the experimental tracked snow mobile.

Tracked vehicle is permanently stuck in the mud. Vehicle was left in the mud and we returned to our field camp. Soil froze to recover.

Meltwater streams eroding the landscape and flowing into the sea, ie Louise Bay. Note in the picture, a "pingo". Very visible on aerial photos, but no known field pictures, prior to this.
