We are now at Resolute Airport.
We came here at 7am, our sleds and skis were already loaded on Kenn Borek Air’s DC3.
We were driven to the craft, given all the safety instructions. Only the 3 of us and the pilots on the flight.
We sat on the left side, adjacent to a row of fuel barrels lined on the other side.
The DC3 taxied across, got to the runway, then made a U turn. The pilot came over the loudspeaker saying, bad visibility at Eureka, we will stay put for another hour, and watch the weather situation…
So we taxied back to the hangar, and were driven back to the warmth of the Airport lounge.
Hard on the nerves. So hard.
Cold and dark here, although by now, 9am, light is breaking through. That won’t be the case in Eureka, and that is not our point of departure yet! We take another plane (smallet twin Otter) from Eureka to Ward Hunt Island. That’s when the fun starts!
ur are my superman !!!
