We woke up at 4:30 am to take the military bus at 5am up to Scotia, at the National Air guard. The plane was scheduled to take off at 8am and that’s what happened. Right on time! We flew up to Goose bay in 3 hours, had a short ice cream break over there, and then went back on the plane for 3 more hours to get to Kangerlussuaq. We arrived at 5:30pm local time; it is still winter here, snow on the road, snow on black ridge, Greenlandic driving snow machines around and pretty cold temperature around 0F. It feels great to be back in Kanger!

Good news about the lunch/dinner situation, this year CPS crew has greatly improved their system. Last year the ACT crew only had one dining option, which was primarily Danish cuisine complete with lots of Muskox. This year, they have the choice between the pizza Rio, the Polar bear (Thai food) or La Cantina.
