Mars Institute HMP Research Station Update for July 12, 2006

On Monday our one scheduled Twin Otter flight made it to the HMP Research Station (HMP RS) bringing in more field support participants including Pauline Akeegok (Grise Fiord), Brandy Iqaluk (Resolute) and Philip Junior Manik (Resolute). Leaving the HMP RS as scheduled was Daniel Iqaluk.

As well on Monday evening three more participants arrived in Resolute Bay.

They were from the Canadian Space Agency, Martin Lebeuf and Richard Leveille and Mars Institute intern Melissa Rice. They spent the night in Resolute and yesterday flew over to HMP RS. There are currently 28 people at the HMP RS.

In the last week the HMP RS has been prepped for this year’s research activities. A report on this weeks research activities will be available later today.
