Successful end to the project, packing up cargo

Everything went well with our field work, and we finished right on time at 14 days of field work including packing up our cargo. We packed everything carefully back in the same boxes for the return flight to McMurdo (and for some items, onward back to the U.S.).

We had the nodes ready in time to get on an LC-130 back to McMurdo early afternoon on Thurs., Jan. 17. However, we still had more packing to do, and I was committed to give the science talk on the evening of Jan. 17th.

We had everything packed and ready to ship out by the evening of Jan. 17th.

Node boxes all packed and ready to board an LC-130 back to McMurdo.

We gave the WAIS Divide science talk on the evening of Jan. 17 describing the TIME project and our Year 1 field testing.
