Field team moved camp / McMurdo Resupply all set!

A quick news update:  G097 field team have moved camp from Bird Bluff to Mt Avers.  The search for the buried fuel cache continues.  The lack of posts to the blog since that move is an indication that geology work is happening, in reasonable weather!!  Mike Brown and Christine Siddoway arrived in McM on Monday, set to work on cargo management  and completed required trainings, and presently are scheduled for a Basler flight to Fosdick Mtns on Monday.  However, there may be perturbations:  a "Blue Ribbon Panel" is here for an assessment visit to MCM, South Pole and other sites (requiring dedicated flights and staff support), and the Ice Runway will close on Friday, with operations to be shifted entirely to Pegasus Field that is one hour away.  Understandably, this is an enormous task that disrupts normal flight operations somewhat.  Watch for future posts to learn where things stand in another day!
