Stephen Braham explained at the morning meeting that wind force is not proportional to the wind speed, spelled out the scientific formula, then summarized, "A small change in wind speed can mean a big change to your tent!" All tents did stay secure through last night's winds.
The twin otter made it in this afternoon when the weather cleared up, after being delayed due to fog in Resolute and 90 degree crosswinds at the HMP base camp. Eight people went out and only three came in, so we will have a lighter crowd over the weekend. The traverses went out as usual, undeterred by the drizzle.
New Arrivals are Dr. Christian Otto (University of Ottawa, Emergency Medicine), Chris Ostafew (Mars Institute), Neil Banerjee (University of Western Ontario) and his student, Mike Liberty.

Departing were Robert Ferl and Anna-Lisa Paul (both from the University of Florida), Nadeem Ghafoor (MDA Space Missions), Tim Haltigin (PI, McGill University), Kevin Williams (Buffalo State College), Dr. Azhar Rafiq (Virginia Commonwealth University), Ekatrina Tchistiakova (Coop student with McMaster University) and Chris Iles (Communication Research Center of Canada). Their personalities and good energy will be missed. 'Til we meet again, comrades!
