The first few days of fieldwork

​Walking across the tidal flats.

My sweaters and jackets are still in my suitcase. Temperatures at Churchill have been in the low to upper 20 degrees celsius since we arrived. The mosquitos, blackflies and horseflies are as predicted! The landscape is purple with fireweed.

The culture heritage sites that I thought would be easily accessed by vehicle are a 6km hike. But they don't disappoint. They're big and complex. Turns out the water on the tidal flats at Halfway Point is warm and clear.
