Can you share what you did in the arctic? Sounds interesting...

Geophysics (mapping the subsurface). Largely related to mineral exploration, but also sometimes infrastructure development or environment cleanup or other things. I was often first boots on the ground in a lot of places, having to set up a winter camp upon arrival by bush plane. Good times. :)

I blew out my knee and settled down now to operate a geophysical equipment business. But I think back fondly.

Damn, that sounds epic and adventurous. Thanks for sharing, that's really cool. Not a common thing to have a chance to be that far out, much less in that context.
