The weather has remained ideal. The sun continues to shine brightly and we are slathering on sunscreen. The wind has calmed today.
The scenery is changing rapidly. As we move further north, the trees are getting smaller and smaller, and fewer and fewer.
The efficient traveling conditions allowed us to log 25 miles today. Our tired bodies felt uplifted when we arrived at Hudson Bay and its shining expanse of white flatness this afternoon.
Today we saw a white arctic hare that blended in with its snowy surroundings, and we saw a fox scampering across the tundra in front of us.
We pulled into camp at about 6:30 tonight. We are camped at an abandoned research station on the shores of Hudson Bay.
Most of the area polar bears have recently moved onto Hudson Bay to hunt seals. Tomorrow we will venture out onto the bay by dogsled to see what the ice holds.
