Back Home
I left Greenland around noon on April 24th. That morning three of us were headed out on the flight to Copenhagen. Before finalizing our packing we walked out to the P3 one more time to…
Last Flight
Clouds continued to sock in most of Greenland this morning so none of those routes were available. Our only other alternative was a low priority mission that over Baffin Island, Canada…
Another Day, Another Weather Day
The weather once again kept us grounded today. I guess every five years so it seems that the spring weather here in Kanger is pretty bad for the OIB team. Thus far…
Back in the Air
We flew a fantastic mission to the East Coast of Greenland today. That area has some of the most scenic coastline you'll ever see - ice or no ice. And some of the most predicable…

The Nussuaq Peninsula
Today we headed north and a bit west of Kanger to the Nussuaq Peninsula, a place OIB has not ever visited. The reason for going here is that there are small ice caps in the…
Aborted Flight
For today's flight we headed south and then east across the ice cap to the eastern shore. Unfortunately, cloud cover on the east side kept us from getting views of the spectacular SE…
