Departure at the Berlin Tegel Airport on July 17th 2012. (photo: Ute Bastian, Alfred Wegener Institute) Boris Radosavljevic, George Tanski, Michael Fritz and Juliane Wolter from Alfred Wegener Institute with the brand new Zodiac boat. (photo: Stefanie Weege, Alfred Wegener Institute) Boris Radosavljevic is another greenhorn PhD candidate in the group. Don teaching us (Juliane Wolter, Hugues Lantuit and George Tanski from Alfred Wegener Institute and David Fox from McGill University) to shoot shotguns. (photo: Boris Radosavljevic, Alfred Wegener Institute) George Tanski is a geographer working at the Alfred Wegener Institute. Hugues Lantuit is a permafrost scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam, Germany. He is the lead of the Helmholtz Society Young Investigator Group on coastal permafrost. Josefine Lenz from Alfred Wegener Institute is working on lake sediments in the western Canadian Arctic and Alaska. Her PhD project focusses on reconstructions of past landscape and permafrost dynamics. Juliane Wolter from Alfred Wegener Institute organizing 19 kg of pasta and 12 kg of rice for the next four weeks. (photo: Stefanie Weege, Alfred Wegener Institute) Juliane Wolter from Alfred Wegener Institute is a Geoecologist and likes plants, especially the really small ones. She will be investigating the environmental history of the Yukon Coastal Plain for her PhD thesis based on lake sediments and peat samples which she will retrieve during this year's field campaign. Michael Fritz from Alfred Wegener Institute has worked on the landscape and environmental development of the Yukon Coastal Plain since 2007.

(photo: Michael Fritz, Alfred Wegener Institute) Wonderful BBQ evening with fantastic smoked arctic char. (photo: Anna Konopczak, Canadian Geological Survey) Michael Angelopoulos from McGill University got so excited about his field site that he was brave enough trying to cross an old mudflow with all the instruments and cables on his back. David Fox from McGill University, our man for everything, turned out to be a great mud rescuer, too.

It is still like finding a needle in a haystack. (photo: Gavin Manson, Canadian Geological Survey) Proudly taking our samples home. (photo: Stefanie Weege, Alfred Wegener Institute) Stefanie Weege from Alfred Wegener Institute lets the chain saw, ice axes and other equipment down on a rope to David Fox from McGill University and George Tanksi from Alfred Wegener Institute in more than 300 m wide Slump on the West Coast of Herschel Island. (photo: Hugues Lantuit, Alfred Wegener Institute) Slump D Steffis site. The picture shows a thaw slump and associated drainage. The thaw slump headwall background is very ice rich and about 30 m tall. (photo: Boris Radosavljevic, Alfred Wegener Institute) David Fox from McGill University mud covered and his favourite tool, his chain saw, after sampling an ice wedge. (photo: Stefanie Weege, Alfred Wegener Institute) Stefanie Weege from Alfred Wegener Institute installed a weather station on top of slump D to monitor irradiance, wind speed, precipitation, ground- and air temperature to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of a thaw slump.
