Notes

Walked from town on the tundra to Frobisher Bay. Permafrost (spongy!) mixed with mossy rocks. Mini ice chunks along the shoreline. Could also see small ice berg chunks off in the distance in the water. Clean cool water. Only one benthic macroinvertebrate (scuds?) visible in the shallow water. Did not bring salinity test on this walk.
