The ground is smooth and crevasse free. The snow is a bit softer here. UNAVCO GPS was set out. Approximate times were 2:15-4:15 (very rough estimate). A new station was installed with a 5' base and two 7' tower sections. The tower and guides have been installed approximately 2' into the snow. 2 sets of battery boxes were installed at this site. All instruments are the new style AWS. The enclosure number is 14632 and the Argos ID is 8908.
