The wind finally calmed down and I was able to do a little walking around outside. Visited the berm (There is only one here!!!) and dug around a little bit with a few others checking for some helium cylinders. It was very nice to be able to see the horizon.
This is the big house.
This is the green house. Where I sleep.
The big white tent like building is the SOB, I forget what that stands for but that is where I launch the balloons from. The generator, heavy equipment shop and snow melter are also in that building.
Fuel tanks and bladders to get us through the winter.
The moon was out!
Great aurora show right before the night balloon launch. Weather balloons are launched twice a day. 9 AM and 9 PM.
It's nice that the skies were pretty much clear for the aurora.
Feels good to be back on ice and under the stars!
