Wednesday 10th of May. Our very last day out here. Or is it? Helicopter was scheduled, and we prepared the temporary landing base by marking a 30 by 30 meter square with visible objects. A provisional windsock was made by a wind shelter liner. We...
Piteraq, quite windy stuff! We spent most of the day preparing, and in the evening we had more than 35m/s of wind.. But our heavy snow wall along with ropes and stuff, kept us safe. Funny this type of wind, because the skies are all...
Day 26 was another great day out here. We managed 29 kms, and we had time for some flying with the drone. We even charged phones using solar panels, so we could listen to some music. Seems like more stormy weather is coming, so we just...
Weather is changing! Today was beautiful. Clears skies and now wind, perfect! We covered our longest distance so far, 27 kms. Finally, we can see that we are moving downhill, although it´s not really visible. We had an encounter with a small sparrow out here today...

The night at the DYE radar station was cold indeed. -40 degrees celcius. Before setting off today, we had to wait for the Americans who are practicing landings and take-offs out here with the Hercules aircraft. Of all the places in the world, this is...
