Dr. Jerome Stueart, freelance writer and award-winning science fiction author, is at the Kluane Lake Research Station this summer reporting on research. His work is part of a federally-funded International Polar Year project operated by the Arctic Institute. Between June and August, over 40 researchers and their assistants will use the station as a base camp while they study area plants, animals and glaciers.
