Two images from work ...

[Alex_B]

Well, I thought why not post some images from my current job
For those of you who do not know me, I am currently North of the Arctic Circle in Northern Scandinavia and enjoying the snow in a very remote region

Yesterday we were on a supply mission with two Hägglunds 206 and sleds for heavy loads ... some strong wind and snow, started cold at -36°C (-33F) but overall sunny and later rather warm at -26°C (-15F).

It is amazing how well these all terrain vehicles even perform in deep snow and on steep slopes! Unfortunately in those situations you are too busy to take pictures ;-) And they are fun to drive!

I guess you are dressed for the cold... very interesting place, i am sure the cat is fun to drive. Don't get stuck

Cool! (Literally and figuratively!)

Don't get stuck

That is one reason why it is better to go in a convoy of two

I really enjoy the composition of the second shot. And, it's great how much detail there is a mostly monochromatic scene. Thanks for sharing.

So yesterday we got stuck in a snowstorm ... we only made it back today. So now you put on 2 coats?
