A.M. Verbeek 1966 Journal 91 ground was frozen at the time. Saw one juvenile lemmus to day. 1 Sept A very cold day with partially clearing skies in the afternoon. In the morning Steve and I did some more packing In the afternoon I hiked along the shore for about an hour taking pictures of Red phalarope along the beach. There were more birds today than there have been recently. 2 Sept. A foggy, cold and windy day. The wind shifted E and we had snow flurries. I wrote some letters in the morning and then toward 11:00 I guided Nama Buchannen around. She is the secretary of the ARB Canadian counterpart at Imurik in the Mackenzie delta. In the afternoon I took her to Baron, where the Nath Star, which arrived yesterday, was being unloaded. 3 Sept. A somber foggy day with snow flurries and a cold E wind In the morning I hiked from ARB along the beach and the road to Taphlins AAB and from there through the tundra to the C R R E L ice cellar; from there I crossed North Creek and continued along North Slough over the lummuswerk S of Honey Bucket Lagoon and back to ARB over the Drum Area.
