McGill Arctic Research Station

McGill Arctic Research Station (Expedition Fiord) is a small research station operated by McGill University located near the centre of Axel Heiberg Island. Its coordinates are 79°20'09.1"N 91°58'45.0"W. It was first established in 1959 after scientists explored South Fiord (Expedition Fiord). The station contains a small hut, a cook house and 2 temporary structures. It can support 8-12 people and gives them access to the research activities. The current activities are glaciology, climate change, permafrost, hydrology, geology, geomorphology, limnology, planetary analogues, and microbiology.〔McGill Arctic Research Station|McGill Arctic Research Station (M.A.R.S.). ''Dale T. Anderson, Centre for the study of life in the universe.'' Retrieved April 11, 2015〕 Today, the station is only used in the summer months so there would be enough power generated from the solar panels.
The director of the research station is Wayne Pollard (from McGill University). He has many experiences with drilling and geophysical tools. His goals are to identify niche environments in permafrost capable of harboring microbial life at or near the limit of its habitability.
==Geography==
McGill Arctic Research Station is located near the terminus of 3 glaciers: Baby Glacier, White Glacier and Thompson Glacier. It is also beside the Expedition River and Colour Lake. The glaciers have been monitored from 1960 to 1999 with gaps in between them. The closest community is Grise Fiord, 500 km away. However, all flights to and from the station all go to Resolute Bay, Nunavut. The area surrounding it are rolling hills and tall mountains.
