Just leaving the hotel for the charter flights. The tour leader tells us that we may still get to Beechey Island but it is still all weather dependent. Only 65 passengers on the boat and 35 researchers.

Loved the piece on Edmonton. What an interesting “museum”. Am looking forward to receiving reports – WiFi permitting – and fingers crossed re Beechey Island, would be marvellous to actually get there!
Really interesting background to your trip – thank you – and a great intro to Edmonton, which looks a fascinating place, deserving of more visitors. Can’t wait to hear your accounts of your next stage. Coincidentally on 22nd there was a piece in the Guardian on the exceptional break-up of sea ice off Greenland (have cut it out & will let you have it), and also last week an email from Waterstones publicising signed copies of Michael Palin’s book ‘Erebus’, due out on 22 September.
