Friday the 26th has now come and gone, and B-236 is still at McMurdo. Although it is absolutely gorgeous outside today, bad weather and poor visibility earlier this week disrupted helicopter schedules and left us with a three day delay.
In fact, after Mark and Brent's Monday reconnaissance mission to our field site was postponed until Wednesday, they got stranded with the helicopter crew across the McMurdo Sound at the refueling station at Marble Point. They returned safely on Thursday morning and despite the snag, reported a good recon and good news about our field and work sites. From the sounds of it (and judging by the photos they brought back), the scenery will be fantastic; also, and most importantly, the camp will be well suited to support our scientific endeavors.
