Armin Sigmund sets up a wind turbine to help power a remote sensing station that collects data for the From Clouds to Ground project with help from IPF scientific support staff.

The Clouds to Ground project is run by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). Researchers from the EPFL have installed several remote sensing station in the vicinity of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Research Station.

A lot of snow accumulated in the vicinity of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica during the austral winter. Here we can see members of the BELARE team helping Armin Sigmund from the EPFL remove snow from abound one of the remote sensing stations being used for the From Clouds to Ground project.

BELARE Expedition Leader Alain Hubert gives a speech to the entire team on New Year's Eve 2020-21.
