Things I Will Miss




The stunning landscape – with all of its ever-shifting moods.
The amazing natural phenomenon – the northern lights, the sunsets, solar spikes, sun dogs, the 80 mph blizzards and the awe inspiring sun rises - that take your breathe away almost every time you venture outside.
The incredible light, that is ever present.
The fresh, crisp, clean air – that wakes you up and turns into frost on your lashes.
The crazy machinery and hi tech gadgetry.
Sam and our intense games of chess and weird banter.
The rough necks who are our mates.
The fridge full of V8.
The cool arctic gear we wear.
The million different types of snow and ice that are everywhere.
The way the spin drift snakes across the ground like low flying fog.
Big Bird – the camp supervisor, and insane, anglophile granddad. (Named after the Sesame street character.)
