April 24, 2008

Henrik Hargitai


Time:
1750-1840


Crew Members:
Hargitai H., Boros-Oláh M.


Site Location:
Widows Peak


Transit Mode:
ATV


Objectives:

To take images for atmospheric observations (dust content of the air is high now); Widows Peak offers a grand view of the area –- visibility change is easy to observe.


Lessons Learned:

- Driving ATV using backpack #5 is difficult.

- Helmets are so full of micro scratches that when driving towards the Sun, visibility is very low.

- Strong winds can alone move the ATV together with its driver.

- Standing on peaks at the rim of Widow's Peak area is not safe in strong wind.
