会议地点


The site of the conference is the First Baptist Church Los Alamos.

Los Alamos is at an elevation of about 7500 ft (almost 2500 meters). Coupled to a very dry climate, this altitude may present problems for some visitors. Drink a lot of water and limit physical activities.

Temperatures range from 90F (30C) or hotter at midday to sometimes barely above freezing at night. Plan accordingly. Rain and lightning strikes are definite possibilities in the afternoons because of the North American Monsoon, and the sun is often very cruel (remember our latitude and altitude). Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are highly recommended.

交通资讯


搭飞机


You can fly to Albuquerque airport (ABQ) or to Santa Fe airport (SAF). Service to SAF is limited and tends to be expensive, though the airport is closer. From our personal experience, you may want to avoid the last flight of the day to either of the airports, and especially to Santa Fe. These airports are quite small by big-city standards, and rebooking may be a problem if your flight is cancelled or delayed due to weather or other problems.
