I just got a phone call from Bob Pappalardo, who told me that his student Damhnait had just called him from the Borup Fiord Pass field site on Ellesmere Island -- a safe arrival! Since this is now secondhand info it'll be a brief report: Damhnait reported that she's there, they landed 6 or 7 hours ago, and "there's sulfur everywhere." That's good news, because the springs have had variable activity in past years. Bob also told me that the team was planning to do their helicopter survey in a couple of days, possibly on the same day that they'll be getting multispectral data from a satellite overflight.

So -- they're in the field and working!
