Vulcan South Deployment Information
Summer 2005 Deployment
This summer the Vulcan South project has four people at the
South Pole for approximately two weeks. We are here to install
the repaired CCD camera, fix the Gmount, and upgrade parts
of our control software. You can get two different perspectives
on our adventures from Doug's
diary and from Jessie's
diary.
Also, check out the pictures
from the South Pole and the places mentioned in our diaries,
including the tragic
pictures from the abandoned team member.
