For those who don't know, I am currently in Alaska at Toolik Field Station. I'm here helping a grad student collect and sort samples of zooplankton to bring back to the lab in Texas for experiments. You can follow this blog for updates during my time in Alaska! I departed DFW airport last Thursday (6/23) and arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska after a layover in Seattle. Friday morning we departed from the University of Alaska - Fairbanks in a van and headed north to Toolik. The field station is located north of the Arctic Circle and off of Dalton Highway, a long stretch of road from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. The drive took approximately 11 hours with a few stops and varying road conditions. Here are a few snaps from the drive up! The mountains of Brooks Range, south of camp. We drove through them on the drive north.
