North Slope winter trip

I went to Barrow again for my job February 11th through February 15th. During that time I flew out to two small villages, Nuiqsut and Point Lay. I was sufficiently afraid of the cold, so I stocked up on a lot of warm gear. Thankfully the weather wasn't that bad...only 20 below zero instead of 40 or 60 below! (Apologies to those with facebook accounts...you have seen these pictures already!)
