The Galley
The closer orange building is where we eat at Willy Field. The further orange building is where we poop. Today I spent at Willy Field getting some work done. Our assembly is on the south side of Willimas Town on the Ross Ice Sheet (9 meters down is the ocean). The area where land transitions into ice (aptly named "the transition") usually has heaves of ice created by the moving sheet, sort of like how mountains are formed. Right now the road at the transition is very melted and the deltas and ivan the terra bus have a hard time getting through. They have reduced shuttles services to try and repair it.
Calling fleet ops yesterday to level out the ice caused all sorts of confusion, which led to me having to call a bunch of people only to find out the person I have to talk to is out at Willy Field. The only way to get in touch with her was to go out there and wait for her to appear. 4 hours later I found out that there were no problems and I could start doing what I wanted to do to begin with. So, I had a dozer level some ice, placed the new eclosure, dug out the wind generator lines, and moved everything from
the old enclosure to the new one.
A long day, eventually productive day.
