A quick update

Erin, Ted and I are out of the field and are back at Rothera Station. The previous two days, we were basically tent bound, trying to stay out of the to 50 knot winds, blowing snow, and zero visibility.
Richie and Dave flew the Twin Otter to the field site during a brief break in the weather. With their help and assistance from two British Antarctic Survey members, Allen and Andy, the team managed to break camp and beat the weather.
A science update will follow shortly, outlining our results – stand by!
