After a brief delay of three flights – I finally left Barrow and returned to Montreal via Anchorage and Chicago. The eruption of Mt. Redoubt was the reason for my late departure, but all the rebooking went smoothly.
Packing up my freight was quite easy – all coolers were full to the brim with snow samples and some additional snow and ice packs for the journey. I am glad I made arrangements for a freezer in Anchorage, since my freight still sits there waiting for a FedEx flight to Montreal.
Storage in Barrow for a few extra days was now problem, since it was very cold anyway, but I am not sure for how long the delay will last in Anchorage since the airport bas been closed again. But as long as my stuff sits in the freezer that is not a problem
