Surveying in the Great White North is no easy job, as you can see from these pics.

But does it still beat the life of the cubicle jockey?

I’m betting the answer is: Yes!

Sick of the office life? Want more adrenalin (with or without polar bears) in your day?

Be sure to check out the Traveler’s Notebook series on Travel and Adventure Jobs, and how to get ‘em.

    Awesome shots! I wouldn't want to be that guy if you paid me. I wonder if he was eventually able to duck inside the vehicle.
