Today, weather is forcing us to stay inside: blowing snow, temperature -21°C, north-easterly wind 60 km/h, equivalent chill temperature -52°C. The dogs, perfectly adapted, are staying outside, rolled up into a ball. They are watching the camp. Without them, in such conditions, or during the polar night, we could not live and work here serenely. When we are going with skis or dog sledge, they are still looking after us, while pulling us happily and without any risk of break down. Yesterday evening, they had suddenly many visitors: 5 sledges pulled by 39 dogs! Just imagine how excited were Jin, Frost, Imiaq and Zagrey...
