I made it to Summit Station without much trouble. A quick landing on the snowy runway and fresh cookies to greet us in the Big House. I've been very busy getting oriented and trained during the 4 day turnover.
Allow me to back up and share our trip to the edge of the ice sheet 20 miles from Kanger, thanks to Von, one of the PIs from the University of Idaho who found a way to rent a rock solid Toyota diesel and show us the ropes.
We marveled at this slow moving glacier with amazingly jagged peaks.
The temperature dropped while the views remained spectacular.
About 500 miles to Summit Camp. Good thing we don't have to traverse by sled dog, Huxley might get tired.We headed back down and prepared for our trip to the top of the ice, which is over 2 miles deep.
