Saturday camp was busy preparing pallets for the flight scheduled for Sunday.
The bladder in the firn gas borehole came free by application of a special tool made by Steff! Saturday evening a great meal was prepared by a large number of cooks directed by Lisa. Later during the night the Dome came into resonance from the vibrations of the dance floor.
Sunday camp received Skier 71, which meant a big change in population here at EGRIP. A total of 24 camp members were going out, while 10 new members were coming into camp. Skier 71 also brought much needed fuel to camp.
