Back to ACT10-B...on their way to ACT10-C

The team successfully finished ACT10-A (their low-elevation coring site) and are making their way to ACT10-C - their finial coring site.  Tonight they have stopped over at ACT10-B.  The team is doing well and only anticipate one potential issue - melt! The team must leave the cores on the ice sheet to be picked up by Twin Otter May18th and the temperatures aren't quite as cold as would be ideal, however they think they can bury the cores and be OK.  Also, thankfully, Clement reports the GPR still seems to getting usable data given the warmer-than ideal temperatures. We'll cross our fingers for those cold temps!
