Default WINFLY is here

After two days' delay due to weather, the first flight of WINFLY (winter fly-in) has been sighted. It's likely on the ground by now, though I haven't heard. This one flight will almost double the population at McMurdo Station, and there are more flights coming.

Sigh. All good things must come to an end. ;-)

Also, the sun is back and there were some lovely nacreous clouds this morning. The sky looks like mother of pearl.

(Well, we haven't actually seen the sun from town yet, but it's visible from the ice shelf.)
