He's back!!!! If some of you remember, we had a plane crash last year. Is was in a Basler on the way to a site called Mount Paterson. Well, they fixed him, and he's back! This is a photo of that exact plane, after more than 6 months of work, including two months of a dedicated crew camping in West Antarctica at the crash site to get the plane fly-able back to Canada. As you can see, he's quite happy (or maybe it's a she?!?) The plan is to try again this year, and take this exact same aircraft back to Mount Paterson again. Hopefully everything goes great this time around...

About Me
- Name: Stephanie
- Location: United States
Welcome to the 2010-2011 field season! My appologies for not keeping this blog going last field season. We worked almost exclusively out of field camps last year and I simply didn't have the capability to upload to this site. I hope to make up for it this year. We will be working out of McMurdo (the U.S. base), as well as Byrd field camp in West Antarctica, and ALE field camp in the Ellsworth Mountains. I'll also have the opportunity at the end of the season to work from an ice breaker ship called the Oden (still helicopter supported), to visit a site called Franklin Island in the Ross Sea. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the posts! If you'd like to see some video, check out our project website: www.polenet.org
