Thule, Greenland arrival

Last summer I was fortunate enough to join a small research team that went to Upernavik Glacier, near Upernavik, Greenland. Instead of blogging about the experience, my partners and I watched World Cup coverage via Danish TV. And I finished my thesis.

Now, I find myself in Thule, Greenland, for the Greenland Inland Traverse. The plan is to haul supplies to Summit, Greenland, via land. Thus, traveling 1,174 km across the ice sheet, collecting scientific data along the way. You can track our progress here:

And can find my advisor describing some of the science we will be doing here (watch the youtube video, there's some talk about undergrads, but also about the science of snowpits, etc.)...

More details to come, time allowing....
