Next Field Camp .... F6 (Our Home Base)

We are on the move again.....


Due to the storm (fierce winds) the helicopters are not flying so we will be HIKING OVER CANADA GLACIER to our next field camp (F6) on Lake Fryxell.

DID YOU KNOW: Glaciers currently cover about 10% of the world’s land area and contain 75% of the world’s freshwater. Although they are most prevalent in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, they can be found on nearly every continent.

F6 on Lake Fyrxell will serve as our HOME BASE for most of our time in the Dry Valleys (with Lake Hoare our 'weekend' home). Most of our testing supplies have been dropped here so we will gather up all of our supplies, set up camp and open our 'temporary lab' to run our water samples.

We will visit: 3 of our stream sites today---including LOST SEAL.
