Frigid haul out.

Today Shimshal finally got hauled out for the winter just in time before the sea freezes. She is now shivering in the dim arctic light waiting for the temperature to crash to -35 celsius. We are relieved to see her safely ashore and looking forward to our visit in March to explore the sea and islands by dog sledge, skidoo and snowshoe.
