Hi Kurt! We left Atlanta from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. We traveled by a regular commercial plane to Albany, New York. We spent the night in Schenectady, New York which was only a 15 minute drive from the Albany airport.
The next morning, we got up at 4:30 a.m. to get to Stratton Air Force Base. At Stratton, we boarded a C-130 military transport plane that took us to Kangerlussauq, Greenland. It took six hours to get to Greenland from New York. But wait. We still had more traveling to do! We spent the night at Kangerlussauq. The next morning we boarded another C-130 military plane to fly to Summit. It took us about 2.5 hours to get to Summit. Wow, what a lot of traveling to get to the top of the Greenland ice sheet. I am not complaining. It has been definitely worth it. I hope you will follow the rest of the expedition. |
