Charley Krebs sits at the back of the sled, tired and happy to be pulled along by the noisy snowmobile. But Krebs loves it, the crisp cold, the wide-open whiteness. The wind sprays snow in his face as the snowmobile plows through another drift. Krebs thinks about the morning as the sled swooshes along over bumps and cracks in the ice. With him are four ecology students from the University of British Columbia, two riding in front of him on the sled loaded with research equipment, two up front on the snowmobile.

They are returning from a six-hour session of tagging snowshoe hares on a remote island in Kluane Lake in the southwest Yukon Territory. Working in teams, they have just finished checking live-hare traps placed throughout the island. They have removed many hares from the traps, taken notes on weight, sex and health and clipped id tags on their ears before letting them go.

They have piles of notebooks to show for their work. Krebs is satisfied. The lake is starting to break up with the spring thaw and they have crossed a few cracks already.
