At last a skier (LC-130 aircraft) finally arrived at Pole
with 29 passengers. How would you feel if
your community experienced an instantaneous 58% population increase? None of the winter crew went out on this
flight, and will have to wait until the next one…whenever that is (likely
Tuesday).
The conditions are supposed to deteriorate into a pretty
nice storm for a few days, so who knows when exactly the weather gods will
smile upon us again. All we can do is
ritually sacrifice a few FNGs and hope for the best. Regardless, the pool of faces and voices will
now be diluted from the pond of winter, and there will be plenty to do to get
turnover completed and maybe actually start to figure out how much
vacation-type travel will get done (if any) on the way home before I find
myself in Christchurch. This year
certainly has been different than the others previous...
