Comments
AMISOR Automatic Weather Station up and running. All priority equipment and all drums of waste from the past two season's field camps plus 18 empty ATK drums retrieved from Sansom Island. Snow showers at the ship prevented a flight to Beaver Lake. Ice reconnaissance to mooring AIS3 found the site clear of pack ice with thin new ice covering it. Arrived on site overnight to find heavy pack on the site; currently some easing in the ice so waiting on the spot for an opportunity. ETA Davis Wed 20 Feb.
