Since Simone described today's fieldwork, I'd thought I would write about our home away from home, KISS. The Kangerlussuaq International Science Support (KISS) is where we are stationed while here in Greenland. Above is a photo I took this evening of our building (red front) and our trusty pickup truck. Note my long shadow- I took this photo at about 8:30pm this evening!
The front of KISS.
Our almost-tidy room. We have a desk, some dressers and a fridge. After the first night here, we realized that there is a shade in our room to shut out the sunlight (Thanks Meredith!). Some fun facts about 7/29/09 in Kangerlussuaq: 24 hours of visible light, sunrise 3:41am sunset 11:13pm, length of the day: 19hrs 31 mins. Tomorrow will be 9 minutes shorter!
One of the cool things about KISS is that the halls are lined with scientific posters about Greenland (for those of us that like to geek out!).
Fun photos posted in the hallway of KISS.
