  Waiting at the Research Station, as weather is too bad to go out to the ice sheets today.

  Sally R. says:

  Equipment has all arrived and is now waiting in the aircraft hanger. We will start relaying up onto the ice sheets today by helicopter, if the weather holds out, but now the weather is too bad to fly. It is really foggy outside and it has been snowing. we're making the most of the creature comforts while we wait!

  Off into the field with the Greenland ice sheet cameras.

  Sally R. says:

  Right, lovely sunny day and we're off into the field with the cameras :) Bit of a drama last night, one of our party cut the top of his finger off, luckily for us the Americans here have good medics and it's all good, he'll just have to boss everyone else around and not lift anything for a while!! There was a huge party in town last night with fireworks, which was very strange seeing as it didn't really get dark!! Greenland got home governance from Denmark yesterday so the locals were all up for a party! Catch you when we get back
