Ejecta Block Birthday Cake for Megan Ennis

The twin otter arrived in the morning to pick up one of the Air National Guardsman, Jake Williams, and Sasa Simeonie (from Resolute Bay). Chris Ostafew (Mars Institute) flew in and back to Resolute Bay with them as well.

HMP participants had use of a helicopter for a few flights. Film Director, Laurent Lichtenstein, took shots of the landscape for his documentary, and several HMP participants were flown to areas of interest for their research.

Dr. Pascal Lee (Director, HMP / NASA Ames, Mars Institute, SETI Institute) led a meeting of the HMP Core Team in the Core Module of the Research Station, making plans as the team looks toward the tail end of the field season.

Megan Ennis, from Moorehead State University, enjoyed a birthday today and was presented with an "ejecta block cake" after dinner, courtesy of camp cook, Mike Langenhan. She was also surprised with a helicopter ride that took her to a geologic location of interest to her and her team.
