Toolik

I have some friends (and friends of friends) that I met in McMurdo working at Toolik this summer. For those of you who are interested, Toolik is approx 120 miles south of Prudhoe Bay. It is a research station mostly operate but the University of Alaska - Fairbanks.

Anyhow, Shannon sent me this picture today. I wish you could see it full page. It's gorgeous. It's taken from the lake in front of the camp. You can see all the fall colors on the tundra, and fresh snow on the mountains in the background.

If you want more info about Toolik, take a look at these links.
