Maclean 1964 Journal 9 June Barrow, Alaska Arrived at 4:15 P.M. via Wien. Too late to get any gear, so the tundra will have to wait. Checked into the tundra Hilton and the luxury lab suites that have replaced aerology. Spent some time shooting it with Holmes, then racked out. 10 June Barrow, Alaska Checked out some clothes, then spent the morning surveying the Tundra with Holmes. Melt off has proceeded farther than 1.5 sight last year; the Beach Ridge is ca. 85% exposed. The lakes, marbles, and low points are pretty much covered, but it looks like it has softened up. Not much melting going on now - it's about 30°, with strong, consistent wind from N.E.. Ponos are ice over, and snow is crushed. The Lab is out of gloves and my hands are cold !!! Followed main road to AACS, then cut across to South Beach Ridge, and walked down ridge toward Micro-Met. White Bugs appear to be most abundant, and are extremely active - in chasing interspecifically (groups of 2-5) and intraspecifically (Pectoral and Bairds). Pectorals abundant (e.g., 2/3 w.r.); Bairds frequent
