More pictures from the Arctic cruise. Photos of polar bears by Naturalist Nick Fellowes. Captain Besser at the helm, and a glacier in the North Baffin fjords.

Jennifer, the lovely French Veterinarian, and Jaakusaaq from East Greenland were amazing!

Made it back to the US after a protracted extraction from Greenland. Met some lovely people and the scenery was amazing, but I don't think I am able to be a crew member with an Expedition Leader barking orders at this stage in my career.

Arctic flowers on our hike in Dexterity Fjord, Baffin Island.

Found a new site while passengers were hiking up a moraine to see a glacier. Cool tent rings, likely within the last 200 years. Report to send to the Nunavut archaeologists after the cruise.

I was a very excited zooarchaeologist, as my favorite pinniped was on display at a house in Siorapaluk, Greenland. There was also a 2-tusked narwhal!! Extremely rare.

Made it to #LeBoreal! This is the view from my deck. I just had the most delicious French apple turnover I have ever eaten . . . delicate, flaky, not too sweet.

On my way to Greenland . . . I hope. Day 2 of waiting at the Copenhagen Airport. At least I was able to escape briefly to the National Museum before the called me back for a reschedule or a previously canceled flight.
