This was one of my souvenirs from my trip to the North Pole. It is an Arctic willow tree. It was found on the right side of the cairn that Bezal constructed on top of the hill near the Lake Hazen base camp. I carried this with me all of the way home as a souvenir. When I went through Canadian customs, the customs agent was very intelligent and wanted to know if I was carrying a snake. I told her it was a piece of driftwood as you are not supposed to remove vegetation from Canada. This tree is now hanging on my wall at home.
