Arctic lake dynamics and to document the changes we have observed requires also doing fieldwork
under often harsh
conditions during the cold and dark
arctic winter,» said Benjamin Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey in Anchorage and co-author of the new study.
You have satellite phones and things like that, but still, for example, in this
arctic expedition, it was several field seasons
under very tough
conditions, high winds, cold, polar bear territory, you know, brutal weather, difficult logistics and the expense, high expense these days; but they stuck with it and they hit pay dirt.
