Daily Report 25 March 2025   Yesterday, the first six of the Müller team reached Resolute. Weather is just perfect with temperatures around -25 deg C, no wind and blue skies. The team members are Dorthe, Emma, Linda, Shari, Grant and Dave We managed to sort out all the cargo and divide it in three piles. We also had meetings with PCSP and pilots. As we finished sorting the cargo we have arranged to fly to EUREKA tomorrow… wow very exciting.

Getting ready to leave The forecast for tomorrow, Friday is good, sunshine all day, which we have not had all the days we have been here. Talking to Tom at PCSP at 7:30 am we hear that the plan is three pull-out Twin Otters tomorrow. Could not be better. THANKS Tom. As we don't really trust we will get good weather this report is written in the morning of Friday and the weather actually IS good. No wind and sunshine.

Over and out Saturday May 27 th , Dorthe and David made it to Resolute with the Twin Otter.

Irony was that a cargo plane delivered the cargo to Resolute the same evening… Tuesday May 30 th , Daniel and Niels left for Ottawa. Dorthe will leave Wednesday May 31 st and David Friday June 1 st . There are four planes each week going south with 20 seat each so it is not always possible to leave as fast a desired. We have had a good season and have successfully mapped the thickness and internal layers of the Müller ice cap. It has been a great and positive experience to be in the hands of PCSP – THANKS to all. Also, a great THANKS to the crews ...
