Mýrar runs

Station Mýrar in Icelandic spring weather

The clerk was right, and the stations starts transmitting data as soon as we insert the SIM card. Then, we do some final adjustments to the direction of the anemometer and webcam – all done. Our remaining concern is whether the anchors will do their job, if the soil is thawing. Only time can tell this.

Pálina, our caretaker, is very quick in outclassing Konrad when it comes to filter exchanging. She volunteered for the two-year job – many thanks to her! We hope that we can pay back a little of the effort by learning interesting things about the aerosol together.

Unfortunately, the Corona situation escalates and starts threatening the setup of the third station on this trip, Raufarhöfn. We have to decide in the next day(s) what to do.
