Kenji arrived at Beaver Creek in afternoon. This area is really interesting about climatic conditions. One of the coldest spot of the North America is just 20 mile from here. Permafrost is feeling much colder than Fairbanks even lower latitude. At first, I meet Panya (Geological Survey of Yukon), we discuss about drill site. Erin (principal) is very helpful for getting permission. Kazu (White River First Nations) also many support for this program to success. At the end up our discussion for drill site, Connie (White River First Nations) helps for searching good spot for our drill site. At the middle of excursion Kazu join to us to looking for the site. I deeply appreciate so many people kind us and help us a lot!
At the end of discussion, we drill 8km a way from town. This is a little bit far from town but scientifically very ideal site to monitor permafrost. We hit big massive ice layer between 3.5-4.2m. It must be buried ice wedges.
