Objective : Devon Island

Share Tweet Share

This is it. Devon Island it will be! This will be quite something - as I never had the chance to visit a polar desert before. Most places I went to were quite green and wet (wetlands). Also every place I visited up to now is located south of Devon Island too.

Here is a map of the location of our projected fieldwork:

Devon Island

Devon Island is located 74 degrees North. There is an ice cap on the eastern side of the Island, and the impact structure where we will stay is on the western side of the Island.

We will be about 13 at most in the camp, and a small switch of personal midcourse. We will arrive at Resolute Bay facilities (PCSP) around July 15 and leave the Arctic around August 10. It will be an extraordinary experience to work with new peoples at a new emplacement. Can't wait to be there. Still have to prepare the scientific program, time is running!
