Nov. 18th – Day 322 on Ice

Posted byAllen FosterPosted inUncategorized

Weather: Beautiful, clear, calm. Light winds and cloud systems moving through with enough clear conditions to land a plane! Temps around -26F.

THE STATION IS OPEN!! IT IS OFFICIALLY SUMMER!

First plane in more than 9 months! This plane brought us some of next year’s winterovers and took out some people who needed to leave for new jobs or other reasons!

Greetings to our new station mates, from our heavy machine operator, Todd!

Seeing new people is weird.

Today was very exciting having a plane arrive and knowing it was the end of winter. Summer has now started and it seems as though winter is long-gone.

Some of these new folks will be wintering and some will just be helping out for the summer. Either way, we feel weird and awkward around these new people. Our stories revolve around a year no one cares about and no one experienced down here. Meanwhile everyone has been living in COVID-land for the past 10 months, so their stories are different and disparate from ours.

People are weird. But hey. It’s SUMMER TIME!!!!

  1. This is great news! The marooned scientists on a distant planet finally rescued by the Starship Enterprise. Did you meet Mr. Spock?

    Come home already.
