SummerAtSummit

I haven’t reached the point where I “X” off days on a calendar, but I am starting to look forward to getting out of here. Most of the group that I arrived with left this morning and will be back in the U.S. on Saturday, but a few of us are sticking it out for a couple more weeks.

A full one-third of the Danish parliament showed up for a whirlwind 1-hour tour+breakfast on Wednesday, but I wasn’t involved with the meet and greet. A high school science teacher from MT, who was chosen to participate in this research campaign by PolarTrec, has a little more insight if you’re curious.

Additionally, there is a group of individuals who are driving across most of Greenland to gauge whether or not it would be feasible and practical to resupply Summit by land instead of air. Craig has to do a lot of reporting, I’ll let him tell the story since I was too busy working to make the walk back to the Big House.

Pushing 230 again, so there is only time for a few photos and then it’s off to icy slumber. If you are sick of the pillar/sundog shots, then feel free to tune out now. (I just can’t get enough of them, so I’ll keep taking photos) To give you an idea of how vivid the colors are, the third shot was from indoors and I’d say brighter than most of the rainbows I’ve seen.

To cap this off, I’ll switch gears and show off some temporary art that I created after dinner tonight…yup, I’m still trying to have fun up here:) -Jeff
