Jammed into the Twin Otter with the Auxiliary fuel tank and some cargo.
There are some pretty mountains down there!
Last bit of Iceland sinking into the sunrise behind us.
First bit of Greenland!
Woah!!
These are so majestic it's hard to believe they are real!!!
A native Greenland settlement!
Final approach after a beautiful two hour flight to the coast of Greenland.
Stopping to refuel at Constable Point. Greenland is very white.
Pilots discussing the not so great weather forecast..... but we might get a short window.
The last of liquid water.
Landed at Summit!!
This is taken from the "Big House" looking back towards the "Green House" which is the greenish building half buried on the left. Green House is berthing, bathrooms, back up kitchen, balloon prep and movie lounge. Big House is on stilts and has the main galley, workout area, lounge, food storage, games, books.
This is Big House. It's very cozy. I like it.
Nice and warm out!!!! But ever since we landed it's been nothing but very windy and low visibility.
Here is my current room, I think I will be moving to one on the other side of the berthing module once the last flight leaves. This one is too close to the front door and the movie lounge (loud). It has a big window and a generously sized desk and lots of wall hooks for my many different jackets and layers. I am acclimatizing well and starting turnover. Thursday is official station closing, so I'll be very busy until I get into the swing of things. I will eventually take some pictures of the different areas withing the station and get better pictures of the outsides of buildings to give some context but visibility isn't great so it would be useless to do it now. The sun is rising around 8 am and setting around 5 pm but the days are very quickly getting shorter. Winter is coming! And I am excited!
