Sign convention

Following on from yesterday's post, here is the completed road sign for the KAIRA site. Next to it is the small temporary sign that had been modified from the original site sign. This was taken down shortly after this photograph was taken. In the background is the main sign announcing the arrival at Kilpisjärvi, beyond which is the customs station.

Signing up

You know you've "made it" when you get a Finnish Highway Authority Approved road sign. So, it was with delight that we received ours. You may have noticed it in the photograph as we prepared to head up to the site for the riometry campaign. Well, it's here at KAIRA now and today we feature some of the installation work (which was carried out before the snow set in!).

Digging the foundation hole.

Installing the sign.

Hmm... perhaps that foundation hole was a bit deep!
