For #FieldworkFriday I'm having a little #FieldworkFOMO, so here's a field tidbit from a few years back on Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island) involving a polar bear 🐻❄️and creative shelter problem solving ⛺️ (1/n) 
It was day 4 of 21 days out in a remote part of Baffin Island, and things were going well--mostly good weather and productive science-ing. We woke up early to collect repeat water isotope samples from a pond near camp before planning to move camp up valley to another lake. (2/n)
Walking back to camp after being out for a couple of hours, something looked amiss. Our bright red tent was no longer upright. Adrenaline kicked in as we realized the most likely cause: a polar bear. We scanned the landscape and loaded a noise-maker into our shotgun. (3/n)
