Day 32: Abisko National Park

Friday we flew our second science flight over the Oden. We saw some unusual geometric formations in the ice and the mission was successful. One instrument did not operate and we will open it today, Sunday, for inspection.

Saturday we had a day off. It was a "hard down" day, which is required every 11 days and means no one is to report to the aircraft. Barbara, and Jim from Leeds (UK) and Dave and I went to Abisko national park, which is about 100 km from Kiruna, where we are staying. It was a beautiful day and we hiked 12.5 km around the park.
