We had a good weather window so I was able to get out to the Joubin Island to service a remote weather station that had gone down. The island group is about 10 miles away from station.
After landing, we hauled the replacement battery up a big snowy hill and got the weather station up and running again.
It was a very nice clear day, with great views back towards Anvers Island.
The second part of the mission was to recover an old cache from the top of a different island. The cache wasn't old enough to be considered historic and needed to be recovered as waste.
Some old tools that had rusted together.
An inedible can of peanut butter. There were some old MREs, a tent, two sleeping bags entombed in ice, a blanket, a couple boxes of "spiced beef" rations in cardboard boxes. We weren't able to retrieve everything because it was stuck in too much ice so we will have to go back out later in the season when it has melted out.
This is the island with the cache.
Nice sunset.
