And we thought Ivan the Terra Bus was bad . . .
Ivan is in the shop today (or unavaliable for some reason), so we got to ride the Delta All Terrain Transport vehicles to the field camp today. They are big, orange, and even less comfortable than the Terra Bus. In fact, because the cab is completely seperate from the passenger compartment, you have to communicate with the driver via a radio. Good times.
The Delta Transport, looks . . . utilitarian
The pair of Deltas that took us to Willy Field today
Otherwise things are going well, the SBI team is just waiting for some clear sunshine so we can point the telescope at the sun and get everything aligned and calibrated.

Raj,
No penguin. Unfortunately even the Skua's are protected, so I assume they fly in some turkey, pre-processed or otherwise. Actually they celebrate on Saturday here as too many people are busy during the week to all get dinner. I'll try to grab somoe photos & let you guys know how it goes.

That backup bus looks like something I would have built out of Legos when I was 8. Mmm.... legos.
