After three days of shopping, packing and late night barbecues, we have now left the city of Whithorse and our jet lag behind us. A late night drive up the scenic Alaska Highway took us out to our new homebase at the Kluane Lake Research Station. Today the weather is summery, the surroundings stunning and the chipmunks just charming.

Now it’s time to put on our gear, grab our daypacks and go out into the field!
