Lee and I were suppose to fly out to Mullock Glacier to remove a station today. The station was installed on the Glacier in October 2006. The strong katabatic winds that rush down the glacial valley have destroyed this station and it is no longer transmitting. Unfortunately, the weather today caused our helo flight to be canceled, but we are on the helo schedule for tomorrow and will try again.
Jonathan and I are schedule to leave on the icebreaker, the Oden, tomorrow night. We should be on the icebreaker for about 5 days, traveling to Beaufort Island and Franklin Island. In total there should be four science groups going out on the trip and it should be interesting to see what the other groups are working on. Our goal is to replace a station that we have on Franklin Island.
