EastGRIP Camp

EastGRIP is an international science station on the Greenland ice sheet (76N 36W), led by @uni_copenhagen. We drill deep into the ice to understand past climate

The Pistenbully is squeezing into its winter home.

[EastGRIP Camp @egripcamp]

All in place on winter hills well separated to avoid piling up of drift snow.

Sepp sneaks away with the PolyPod also for winter storage.

Cabin and belts of broken Pistenbully goes onto another winter hill.

The main generator goes into hibernation in its insulated box on a sledge on a snow hill.

[EastGRIP Camp @egripcamp]

All Weatherports are now loaded onto the sledge where they will spend the winter on a snow hill.

[EastGRIP Camp @egripcamp]

The last Weatherport has been disassembled and packed into boxes by a very efficient team of highly skilled personel, then it was driven away by JP in the Cat.

The new snow hill in town is now used for storage of two retro pallets, Westa snow blower, tiller and large snow melter. In the background the perfectly groomed skiway.

The big snow melter has never been as clean and tidy as now.
