People there were extremely friendly and helpful and I was given an extended tour of the research station and the possibilities they offer. It is run as a facility that provides logistical support (food, lodging, transportation), local advice (sampling locations, terrain, flora &#038; fauna) to researchers, who typically arrive with their projects.

It would be necessary to choose sampling spots very carefully. Environment Canada is running a few automated instruments there, including a Tekran Hg Analyzer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; was extremely enjoyable, because I was on vacation in Churchill, MB &#8211; watching polar bears, checking out the boreal forest and the tundra.
