We are there: Summit!

So, we just made it with the Hercules to Summit after an initial long waiting time because of overcast/foggy conditions at Summit. Quite an experience such a flight with a Hercules making a hell of a noise seeing all the cables hanging, moving, whatever. Getting out of plane gives an impressive impression suddenly being at the middle of the Greenland icesheet. However, I feel already completely home here with this place so much reminding me of my life, and many visits after that, to Colorado. It smells like Colorado probably because of the home made cookies, having enjoyed a small late lunch consisting of crackers with Brie and some jelly. What they have told me already becomes true; the quality of the food must be quite good here. And the guy in the kitchen, also doing the dishwas, called Commander, just sat down on the sofa playing the guitar playing some Lou reed/blue grass/Colorado style songs (not my favorite ones). This place will for sure all make it a very comfortable stay despite the coldness outside. Tomorrow we will start working at the flux site that we just visited this afternoon after arrival to show it to some reporters. They also made it today to Summit just to get an impression of the work being done here, staying for one hour and then immediately leaving again with the C-130,

here some more impressions, Laurens

By the way, note the telephone book; one book for whole Greenland (picture made at Kanger)
