New Photos: It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Ken Borek Twin Otter!

Hello all,

Just a short posting as it is once again a very late night.

We went out on the ice again today, but this time with a Twin Otter airplane (like I used in April and what we flew from Resolute to Alert in on this trip).  We traded our helicopter for the Twin Otter for the day as we wanted to deploy an ice mass balance buoy which involves too much stuff for the helicopter.

We also did our full suite of ice cores and drilling and ground EM measurements. 

 Then this evening we processed two texture cores and measured salinity in two of the previously cut cores.

Tomorrow we plan on doing a bird flight and deploying our time lapse camera.

Well off to bed now

Goodnight and talk to you all tomorrow
