Barrow Fieldwork 2017
Our group joined Prof. Jody Deming's research group up in the far north at Barrow, Alaska, to study the microbes that live within the sea ice. Here's some of the photos!
Barrow, officially known as Utqiaġvik, is north of the Arctic Circle and Point Barrow is the most northerly point of the USA. Barrow webcam
