Southbound from Toolik Field Station yesterday, it started off great with amazing fall foliage. As we drove south the colours remained great but the streams started to get higher and running over the road at times. We made it to Coldfoot and we're stuck there for the night.
Made it home today :)

Great day @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social. Not only is the lake officially ice free but I got to get out via helicopter to a thermokarst lake to the south of Toolik to work on an eddy covariance tower.
Pretty good day all in all.

I was curious about how much colder the temperatures this past week were compared to the 30 year average. Turns out it was cold!

Today was much warmer so hopefully the snow will continue to melt and summer will start.

Have not given up but also sort of over it. Currently snowing at @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social

Still skiing on June 8th here at @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social
The willows are starting to produce catkins and the lichens are vibrant.
Temps are expected to be above freezing this next week so we are hoping that more plants will start to flower.

Good animal day @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social !
Caribou on the road due to soft snow led to great photo ops and filtering horned larks.

Hot off the R-press! This winter's ice thickness on Toolik Lake. Any bets as to when it'll be ice-free?

Thanks to Amanda Young @ubetula.bsky.social and Toolik's hardy year-round Spatial and Environmental Data Center team.
