Over the last couple of days, our science crew had a chance to shower up, thaw out, dry out equipment and do some much needed laundry after spending the last three weeks on the ice sheet.
After gathering supplies and packing up again, Mike, Max, Shane, and Babis are headed out to Crawford Point this morning via twin otter to set up another station and drill more cores before continuing on to Summit Camp tonight. The remainder of this segment will be traversed by twin otter only and should take about five days – depending on weather conditions. They are still ahead of schedule, which is great news!
