ACE Arctic Validation Campaign
The trip down from Eureka - March 9

There is a trick that everyone seems to try when they are in the Arctic:  you take a cup of boiling water and throw it in the air.  The result, if the temperature is low enough, is that none of the liquid water should hit the ground.  Since it was -45C, we though that we would try this.  Thanks to Rai LeCotey for taking the stop action photographs.

After a morning of fun (and recovery from fun), we had lunch and then the pilots were ready to go
