The three ICE2001 camps still wait for the weather to become helicopter-friendly, but they are certainly not idle. At the highest camp, Prospector-Russell Col, Mike Waskiewicz is erecting a weather station (for a description see daily report for May 18) that had been delivered the year before. At the intermediate site, King Col, Gerry Holdsworth and Kaplan Yalcin are beginning to test a glacier-probing radar unit. At the lower site, Quintino Sella, Fritz Koerner and Tetsu Yamasaki hauled supplies up to Camp I in preparation for a mobile camp that will take samples for various tests.
