hi Sammy!
First of all, I am sorry for the delay in answering your question. Forthe past 4 days we have been above 80N (get out a map and see just how farnorth the 80 latitude line is!). We just got email for the first timesince Aug 2!
Your question is a good one, and is the subject of my Monday 4 AugustJournal, complete with pictures and explanations. Look for it to beposted in the next day or so.
Thank you for following along
Mrs. W
