On with the Job...

Despite the weather worsening with the rain coming in a bit, all fires are coping well.

Glaciology Fire (Ghostbusters) have made it up onto the ice and the Geology Fire (Qaqqaq) are a little further down the fjord to begin their projects. The Social Sciences Group (Isuma) are currently on a archaeology project while the fluvial fire (Kuuk) are on the Eastern side of the fjord enjoying some fishing in between research periods.

All the boats and other equipment are performing well and all is going to plan so far with the group coming together closer and closer as time goes by.
