Safely in Resolute

compilerbitchWe made it safely to Resolute about three hours ago, after three flights, two on a 737 cargo plane and one on a little Beechcraft 100 twin-engine turboprop.
I shot a load of photos today with the Nikon -- I'll process them and upload a few to flickr later tonight, and I'll do a photo post here, so watch this space.
The arctic is OMGWTFCopter stunning. You'll see what I mean later. The quality of light here is amazing -- clear and sharp, and asking to have large format cameras pointed at it. Which will follow in due course, assuming that mine has survived being out in the rain (in a Pelican case) for 3 weeks, but...
Weather here is 'warm' (i.e. about 1C). I like it, anyway -- it actually reminds me a lot of a clear, still day in winter in Northumberland. Except it's the middle of summer, there is almost no vegetation anywhere (it totally really does look like Mars), and the sun doesn't set.

Looking forward eagerly to pictures.
