Several years ago, about the middle of April and it is about 25 miles to the island.
This year, the March 17th. MODIS pictures show lots of blue water and not much ice on the lake. The island still has plenty of white showing though.
Second airplane on the island for 2009's winter study. Donnie and Rolf landed with the Flagship first to make sure there was enough ice for the loaded to the gills Beaver. (Aircraft was full of stuff and John, myself and the pilot, weight was nowhere near capacity.)
