Shipping something here is enormously expensive -- don't even think about it. As it happens, my tent is usable with some modification, so it's not so bad, and like I've mentioned, I have the fall back of sleeping in one of the work tents or having a tent sent out from Polar Shelf in Resolute on the next plane if my mods don't work.
*Next* time, of course, I'll know exactly what to look for in an arctic-capable tent.
(for reference, low roof, dome or teepee shaped, not too large, flap all the way around the edge that can be weighted down with rocks, poles on the outside so you can guy it down more effectively, fly sheet that goes down to the ground, inner compartment that is fully seam-sealed. Big enough to take a big thermarest on top of a big camp bed and leave enough room for Stuff.)
