TB Sondrestrom_Messenger is trying to reach the Sondrestrom Incoherent Scatter Radar (isr.sri.com) at Kellyville, outside Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. The radar is at N 66.9873, W 50.94480; the nearest regular cache is now (placed 25 March 2006) "Incoherent Bliss", GCV201, at N 66° 59.097 W 050° 56.299.
TB Sondrestrom_Messenger is one of a team of nine travel bugs which have set off from Svalbard on a mission to visit all the other Incoherent Scatter Radars in the World, exchange greetings with the operators of those radars, and return to the ‘Too Parabolic’ cache, GCNDBQ, at the EISCAT Svalbard Radar.
Incoherent Scatter Radars are powerful and effective devices for studying the Earth’s upper atmosphere, but there are very few of them in the world. The nine travel bugs together complete a picture of the main feed of the largest antenna at the Svalbard Radar and the completed puzzle will eventually be displayed in the main radar building.
Updated details for this, and the other eight travel bugs, their progress around the World, and the complete image can be found at www.eiscat.se/Travel_Bug_Team. Information about EISCAT and the other Incoherent Scatter radars can also be found through links there.
Please help this travel bug on its way!
