Hello WAIS Divide enthusiasts,
This is the first field update for the 2010/2011 season. The seven person put-in crew arrived by Basler at WAIS Divide on November 8. They were delayed by weather for 16 days. There is a normal amount of drifting at camp and they have prepared the skiway for LC-130 cargo flights. The second flight with the camp set-up and construction crew has also arrived and there are currently 26 RPSC/NANA folks at camp. The IDDO, NICL, and SCO crews departed the U.S. on November 15 and will arrive in Christchurch on November 17 (local time).
