One of the best parts of work can be the travel. In early May, a colleague and I made the trip up to Inuvik for the Science Rendezvous event put on by Aurora Research Institute. The purpose of the event is essentially to get kids excited about science. We made Continue Reading

Posting this after quite some time, but back in March, we had a nice trip to our favourite spot on the North Klondike to try and catch some Aurora, and it did not disappoint! I am still trying to get the camera settings dialed in, so these will have to Continue Reading

When I woke up to feed the cat, I was pleasantly surprised to see some aurora outside! We wanted to take advantage of a super clear day and make the drive down to Skagway. A clear day in the White Pass is always worth the drive, even if it’s cold Continue Reading
