There was a construction stop right by the airstrip since they were moving and re-building a huge stretch of the highway.

A few minutes after the first load went in with the supercub three A-10's screamed into the valley after them (at about the same elevation). While walking across the glacier later in the day they came back down the other way, close enough to the ice I could see their helmets.

Downloading data from the drawire - an instrument that measures ablation. We drill a 6 meter hole in winter and drop the drawire down into it, freezing it into the bottom. The data logger measures the length of the wire (that gets reeled in as the surface melts) every 15 minutes by a voltage transducer.
