First Sunset





My friend Greg, one of the physicians here, has been here a year and tonight was the first direct sun he had seen since April.

Vince's cross at Hut Point. 4 pm.

The next sunset with the large "snowblast" machines clearing the new ice runway where the planes will land and depart for the first part of the summer. Later, when the sea ice melts, they have to move operations back to the glacier runway at Pegasus runway. This new runway is in the channel where the ships came in last year and the ice is only about 6 feet thick.

Best wishes to all my family and friends!
