Northwest Passage Drive Expedition Team Aiming for Smooth Ice
The Northwest Passage Expedition team spent a great night in the Moon-1 Humvee Rover by the coast of a small island. At 7:30 Local (6:30PT) Joe Amarualik (Resolute Bay) and John W. Schutt (Mars Institute) headed back to Kugluktuk for some more fuel for all of the vehicles, where they arrived safely. Later this afternoon, once Joe and John return, the NWP team will head off towards Cambridge Bay, aiming for an area of possible smooth ice seen in Radarsat-2 images uplinked previously from Dr Stephen Braham (Mars Institute / SFU) at Mission Support. The team is in great spirits and looking forward to the next leg of the trip.
