Back from Tango 1


Location:  McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Weather:  Sunny, 28F

We arrived back to Williams Air Field last night from our deep field camp at Tango 1.  Tango 1 didn't go as expected, or did it?

We, Pete, Kate, and I, arrived last Thursday, December 18, to set camp up and await the rest of the science team.  That didn't ever happen.

If you can recall it took over two weeks for our first plane to arrive at Tango 1 because of bad weather.  We arrived there and guess what?  We had bad weather for seven days and the decision was made just to pull us out of camp and limp back.

I have some awesome video of the storms at Tango so stay tuned.
