December 27, 2010... Field team and Pole team

Early morning, Hyomin and Joseph along with our mountaineer Julian left to the remote site PG2 in a twin otter. They will try replacing an Iridium cable and see if we could communicate with the system, if not, instead of debugging in -40 deg C, they will pack and bring the system back.

There was a nice surprise awaiting me at the galley. We had Indian lunch that day: naan, masoor daal, chicken curry, palak saag, flower-pees subji. :D I was extremely thrilled to have Indian food at the South Pole.. :)


Me and Bob started to get our cargo together on the other site for our second system. The cargo people here with their huge caterpillars, helped us move our heavy instrument boxes.
