NARL (Naval Arctic Research Laboratory),

where BASC and Ilisagvik College are located

 

 

This is the view of NARL from the end of the runway where our hangar is located

 

This building used to be the old NARL theatre, but I believe that now BASC uses it for storage

 

This building is the warehouse where ATVs, snow machines, arctic gear and much more are stored and can be checked out by BASC researchers

 

Here is part of the old abandoned NARL infrastructure

 

The view out my window at the "NARL Hotel", where researchers and workers can stay in a dormitory-style setting

 

One side of my room for the week...

 

...and the other side

 

Shep in the hall at the hotel, trying to get wireless internet service (in the building across the way there are many labs and a library with T1 internet available, but Shep likes to make things difficult)

 

This is one of the laboratories where we will set up the instrument that will be used to analyze the samples from the balloon
