Work Hard, Play Hard

Back in Greenland again. Work hard, play hard.

The small river in Kangerlussuaq has turned into a raging torrent, swollen with the summer melt of the Russell glacier.

Flying back in to NEEM our in flight entertainment was to witness a 96% solar eclipse from the window of our LC-130.

The long winter creeps closer each day and we are all working long hours to finish building the camp and prepare it for the harsh Greenland winter where storms rage and temperatures drop to below – 60 degrees C.

The evening light improves as the sun gets lower by the day, and the skies are as big and beautiful as ever. An evening ski or run on the groomed runway is an excellent way to relax and escape the hum of the generator.

We are due to leave on the 18th August so hopefully we're ready and the weather plays ball to let us escape!
