Stuck in Petropavlovsk
- Older in Siberia 2004: intro part 6 - Newer in Siberia 2004: Stuck in Petropavlovsk
I'm in PK, among friends. There's a little bit of a sticky eddy here, a day or two longer than I would chose, but I'm using the time to fine tune things. And calm down. Which is good, after all. On this morning's weather, the temp in Chukotka was -28C, about what I expected. Misha and I have been in endless discussions about snow conditions in continental and marine climate during the transition from winter to summer. Basically neither of us knows what's to be expected. We ask other people, and they too don't know. Our take off weight will be about 50 kg in the sleds, which is minimal if we have hard maritime snow and a lot if we run into continental, Brooks Range type temperature gradient snow. Ok, enough of those kinds of details. I miss you all; I'll be in touch by satellite phone from Vvenka.
