Yesterday I got to go on a twin otter flight 190 miles away from station to help dig up some ice cores and empty gas jugs from a ice core traverse that has been snowmobiling around the west of Greenland for the past 7 weeks.
Station from the sky!
Landing on ungroomed snow in the middle of no where.
Dug a hole to retrieve the things left behind. It was a really fun afternoon trip! The flight back was a bit cold, because you can't turn the heat on in the airplane if you are carrying ice cores, you don't want them to melt!
