On Tues., Jan. 22nd, the weather and logistics aligned for an LC-130 to pick up all 14 science personnel at WAIS Divide (PoleNet, MELT, AWS, and TIME). We had quite a bit of personal luggage and cargo between all of us. Some of the scientists had spent 6 weeks or more at WAIS Divide. After 4 days with no flights at WAIS, we were all pretty excited to be catching a flight and moving on to the next stage of winding down our field seasons.
The flight landed in McMurdo at ~1AM, and the TIME team immediately headed to the PASSCAL offices to get the first set of nodes offloading data and recharging on the racks. Then we headed to bed.
