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

Notes: 

This trip took place between 30 July and 4 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.  The itinerary was likely in this order -

Toronto - Iqaluit - Resolute - Mould Bay - Eureka - Resolute - Alert - Iqaluit - Toronto


During the trip they boarded a leased Ice reconnaissance aircraft (Challenger) at Resolute to reach remote sites at Mould Bay and Eureka

Debbie MacDonald-McGee, then a member of EC Communications, took most of the photos, and Elizabeth (*Liz) Dowdeswell also contributed.
*Elizabeth Dowdeswell was also known as "Liz" among her AES staff.
Photos are all left to right and in order of location visited.
