All,
news as of today (based on emails and call with Olaf):
- The pumps that have arrived with the helicopter were checked - everything is complete, they are working properly and are of high quality
- Volker Neth has formulated "procedures for working on the ice", which were forwarded to Gutov
- Gutov´s crew has pulled one of the baloks to site D1, which will function as shelter for the ice strengthening work out there
- Tomorrow, the bulldozer will be checked and, if everything is okay, will for the first time travel to D1 to start snow clearing
- Little wind, -30 degreed C
- Everybody is fine
Cheers for now
Martin
