The Polar Continental Shelf Project, one of our sponsors, provided logistical support for our expedition. We stayed at the PCSP base in Resolute prior to being put into the field, and then again for several days upon our return. The PCSP staff and facilities were absolutely the best. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the facilities and equipment were all modern and well kept. If your going to do research in the Canadian Arctic, working with the PCSP is definitely the way to go.
