Müller Ice Cap Daily Report Sunday March 30

 

Daily Report for the weekend 29-30 March 2025

 

Saturday, we finished emptying the containers and with Nick’s help moved all to the runway 2 km away. The cargo has been sorted into subjects and strapped so wind cannot move the light boxes.

Being a Saturday, we had time for an afternoon nap before dinner and bar evening. We had a really good evening in the company of the staff at the Eureka station, the team working at the PEARL station and a film crew, Silverback, who are filming the wolves around Eureka.

Sunday started with a wonderful brunch at 11 and during the afternoon, we raised the Viessman freezer near a 220V, 60 Hz, 30 Amp plug. It seems to be a little strange when the outside temperature is -32 deg C. But we do expect temperatures becoming positive before we move the last ice cores from Eureka beginning of June.

 

What we have done:

- Emptied the three sea containers and the area in front of the containers

- Moved the Müller ice cap cargo to the runway

- Built the Eureka Veissman freezer cabin

- Assembled the groomer

- Repaired the electrical cable controlling the groomer teeth position

- Started removing the snow in front of the weatherport where the propane is stored-

- tested the second Starlink at the Eureka station
