A very long awaited transition has occurred for me and my family. I was offered a position in our Fairbanks, Alaska office, and we joyfully moved up last month. I lived here for a long time a decade ago before embarking on my "southern" ice experiences, and I am glad to find that the Golden Heart City has changed very little. The boreal forest, permafrost, the low angle sun…I only hope the winters are still as cold and snowy as I remember them to be.

If there are any special requests for stories or other interesting information that I can help with, please let me know. I look forward to working with our Arctic editors if there are any items that I can be of assistance with in that realm. Enjoy this issue of PT!
