Things as they stand!
I thought an overview would be in order so everyone knows what I am talking about. There are three runways here, Pegasus, Ice, and Willy field. Pegasus is on the permanent ice shelf about 15 miles from town. It will be our main runway once Ice Runway melts in a few months. The road to Ice is already starting to crack so it could be soon. We will move all the buildings on skis over to Pegasus. The transition from land to the sea ice is already cracking badly. They are trying to keep it stable with fresh water but a few vehicles have already broken through. It's shallow there, no worries. Willy field is where we launch the weather balloons from.

So if it is going to melt, what is the purpose of putting it on Ice ever?
