Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS Amundsen)

I made it to the ship and we are in the Arctic! Things have been hectic and I hope to have more time soon to share this experience and to make sure I document it to remember everything. Below are a few pictures. We took the small place from Inuvik to Sachs Harbor, and then the Canadian Coast Guard Helicopter to the ship. I sometimes work off of the barge which is about a 25 foot barge that is attached to the ship when not in use. When we are ready to go take the optical measurements of the ocean we deploy the barge into the water and walk down a ladder onto it from the main ship. I will show more pictures soon, but because I am on the barge I am able to take pictures of the ship, The Amundsen just like the one below.

More to come soon. I need to get some sleep!!!!!!
