The planes carry science cargo, emergency supplies, fresh food, people and mail. Heavy supplies, and the bulk of the food and supplies come in by ship once a year in late summer. From February until September, the winter season, there are no planes or ships, which means no supplies. In past years they would drop supplies and mail in mid-winter, but this has been canceled due to Federal budget cuts. This means no way in or out, and no fresh food or mail for over 6 months.
Some supplies become short, and rationing is imposed.
