The cold in Hall Beach was unbelievable and it was spring - what must it be like in the Winter. The sun was shining so brightly that the first thing I had to do when I got up was put my shades on. The light reflected of the snow was blinding even indoors. We went out to play on the skidoo. It only takes an hour outside and the cold really gets to you.
Bits start to hurt that have never been that cold before and it is very exhausting.
With the blue sky and bright sunshine looking so lovely, it's easy to be lulled into a false idea of the temperature. I could only take my gloves off for a minute before my fingers started to hurt with the cold. The skidoo was great and I did get a shot of driving, narrowly missing tipping B and I onto the snow. It was a bit like being on horse back. It was built in the 50's and looked like a prop from Dr Strangelove.
