Saturday, June 17, 2006. Friday 16th June.: Tangled cable. To our great surprise we woke up to yet another sunny "day" with good cold temperatures. This was the day we would beat the record and drill and process even more than 30 m! It all went fine until after lunch when the cable on the winch became completely tangled up! We had real tortillas with chilli beans for lunch (chef Trevor) and a pork roast with potatoes for supper with raspberry-paste for dessert (chef Bo). Posted by ICEBLOG @ 3:31 PM.

Wednesday, June 07, 2006. Tuesday, 6. June. Waiting for the take-over. There was no exchange of personnel after all today. The plane to St Nord was cancelled because the weather was marginal. The forecast for tomorrow looks good though. We had warmed-up leftovers for lunch. Claude prepared late-night food: Chinese egg-soup, rice, fried prawns and vegetables with nuts. The dessert was ice with strawberries (life is hard in the field :-) . Posted by ICEBLOG @ 11:28 AM. Tuesday, June 06, 2006. The Kansas pe...

Saturday, June 03, 2006. Friday, 2. June. A beautiful and productive day. It has been a very beautiful day. We could see the mountains far away. We had small sparrows and one northern fulmar flying around our camp. As long as the fauna does not manifest it self through something bigger, like a polar bear or so, it is really nice to see some animals. Today we have been in touch with VECO over the Iridium phone.
