A view out over the largest trench (caused by a fault line) in North America. I took a picture of this on the drive up but it was shrouded in cloud and snow at the time.

It was closed for the season but the owner (a German who got fed up with the rat race) agreed to provide us with a room for the night.

I took the oportunity here to replace a failed glow plug. This had happened sometime between Tuk and Fort McPherson as the car barely started at -24C on the morning we left. The battery was turning the engine OK but it just wouldn't catch. After well over a minute of churning over it finally just about started, clearly running on only 3 cylinders. Once enough heat had got through to the forth cylinder it was ofcourse fine. I had anticipated this happening since 3 of the 4 plugs had failed previously during the winter so I had one with me. Its only a 10 minute job to swap in the new one.

This shows how much of the boot space was taken up with 'equipment' rather than our 'stuff'. There is a second spare tyre - most web sites recommend one for the Dempster. I would suggest this is not necessary in winter when the stones are mostly covered up. Then there are four sleeping bags, tool box, tow rope and jump cables. Underneath the second spare tyre is food and in the Corona box is a stove with pots and pans, etc. All this was intended to be to enable us to survive the hypothetical situation where we slide off the road in a snow storm and are then stuck for several days before someone can come and rescue us. Northern Canada is no joke in winter - you need to be prepared. We might no have been very comfortable if we'd had an accident but we would at least not starve or freeze. In addition we had the satellite phone to call for help.
