Welcome back, Sunshine!

 The sun shone on Toolik for a couple of precious minutes at midday today, for the first time since late November. What a beautiful sight!

Polar winter

 Looking south at noon…the sun is trying but not quite succeeding in peeking up over the Brooks Range. Here comes the polar winter at Toolik!

Loving these late fall skies in the far north…

 

Dark skies not dark

So fun that we’re getting darkness at nighttime but even more fun when things light up that sky.

Winter is on its way to northern AK…
