Hello Frankie!

It was great to see other teachers up at Summit!!  I met teachers and students from Norway, Greenland, and from the states! 

I didn't see very many animals at Summit Camp.  The conditions are too harsh and there is no food or water for animals to survive.  However, we did have two small birds that flew into camp one day after a large storm.  Other than that, most of the animals I say/met were the staff who live up at Summit Camp for months at a time!!
