In my initial blog entry I provided a link to a video of plane landing on the Palmyra airstrip. Here is one of the takeoff. This one is much more interesting as the plane banks around and you get a good look at the research station where I will be living and working. You also get a sense of how small the island is. My marine librarian colleagues at IAMSLIC will tell you how I like to go on long "death marches" when I visit new places. It is going to be a bit of a challenge to do one here given how small the island is.
It took a long time for the plane to get up in the air! Good view of the atoll. You may have to do several laps to get in a long hike.
