The longest ride into Arctic Mars

The hot chocolate goes down well right now. The weather’s turning cooler, and I just returned from my first extravehicular activity on an all-terrain vehicle, our longest foray yet into the wilds of Devon Island. We left the Hab and headed out down to the Lowell Canal, a route I’ve taken daily with Digby Tarvin to fetch the water, but this time, we crossed the stream and climbed the steep hill on the other side. Soon we were beyond sight of the Hab and entering northern territory none of us had seen before.
