Hey guys
During the last week or so we have seen our fair share of arctic wildlife. We even had a wolverine run by our camp. We often get woken up at night when bears bang on the side of the lodge, trying to get in to the delicious garbage room! The foxes and hares are in their full winter coats and they look superb. The temps are still relatively mild and the sea has thawed back out, leaving the bears onshore to pace back and forth.

So, my day will be spent repairing an air leak on a buggy's brake system, installing two propane furnaces into another buggy and fixing a couple of doors! Hopefully Mr Bear wont get too close?

It's nice to see a familiar face. Dancer has a few battle scars that are easily recognisable. His claws are turning white, a sign that he's about 20 years old.
