Getting ready to go

It's been an eventful few days......

Here's the motley crew at Lonyearbyen (78 13') ready to fly out to Camp Barneo at 89 degrees N.

Here's an interesting article about how they put in the camp! they drop tractors and drivers by parachute to clear the runway. http://www.barneo.ru/2010e.htm

A ticket a plane and we're in Russian hands for the next few days..
