Snow Dunes.

Record snow fall made for an interesting field trip to the Provinceland dunes earlier this year. We knew New England had been cold, but leaving Adelaide in 42 C and arriving to -16 C in Boston was a shock to the system. Nevertheless we wrapped up, put our gear together and were fortunately rewarded with some dry, bright and (best of all) windy conditions.

Hope you enjoy the few snaps below from our two weeks in the snow. Thom.

Unloading the gear. Thankfully we didn't have to bring all this from Australia!

Calibration time. Ian Walker and Michael Grilliot from the University of Victoria check the instruments

Dunes, glorious dunes.

Making use of all that drift wood
