There's no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end
When we all disintegrate, it will all happen again, yeah
If you came to conquer, you'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away
And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear
We have no control

It snowed! No a big surprise for #yukon in November, but after 4 or 5 weird warm weather months it’s a bit of a relief to see something normal. Hopefully the rest of the winter is normal but who knows with climate change.

Finished up the yard work in what has been a beautiful sunny week. However, by deciding to put the tools away ‘tomorrow’ I have called down the wrath of the gods. #yukon #whitehorse. Sorry.

That trailer then moved it to Edmonton where received it and began the accessioning and sampling process. Going from too hot on a Yukon mountain top to -35c in and Edmonton lab! We’re sun burnt, frost bitten but generally happy it all worked out!

Phase 2 was getting the ice to the University of Alberta ice core lab intact. Extremely warm fall conditions gave us 20 c days at 6500 feet asl so we had to get the ice into a refrigerator trailer daily.

Well it’s been a long two weeks. Our objective was to collect legacy ice from a 10 Kya #Yukon Ice patch for both future research and a caribou diet study. Week one was chainsawing ice out of the face of ancient ice at the Gladstone #archaeology site.
