Delayed

View from Emilie and Cindy’s tent at 6 pm, with a view of a nearby nunatak, a shovel, and the science tent.

We are so good at waiting. From delays getting to Antarctica from New Zealand, then to Davis-Ward from McMurdo, and now back to McMurdo, we are waiting experts. Weather in McMurdo caused the flight this morning to be cancelled, so the schedule should just shift day-by-day until the weather improves enough to fly.

Lauren and Marc sorting meteorites for inventory.

Since this is just a short update, I thought I’d include a picture of Lauren and Marc inventorying meteorites (each one bagged and tagged) and our view out the tent around dinner-time.
