Summer season at the Pole begins with a reminder that expectations based on flight arrivals, or departures, often require some flexibility. Just when the first small aircrafts were supposed to make pit stops for refueling, the weather turned bad, delaying all the planes until the following week.

While they wait, though, there are still chores to do, like snow removal. The snowcat at bottom is poised for action.
