ADM Liz Dowdeswell and EC DM Len Good Visit The High Arctic, Summer 1990

Notes: 

This trip took place between 30 July and 3 August 1990.  No writeup was found in Zephyr, but see below from an internal EC publication.

The only other record is photographic, as shown here.  Alert and Mould Bay were the only stops recorded.

Near the end of the trip they were aboard a leased Ice reconnaissance aircraft (Challenger), likely at a southern Arctic base.

Elizabeth Dowdeswell and Debbie MacDonald-McGee contributed and took most photos, but other photographers were also involved.


Photos are all left to right and in approximate order of date taken.
