LAKE SURVEY

Part of our job as the "stream team" to survey the Lakes.....

WEATHER

Antarctica
is certainly a continent

of EXTREMES......

Extreme Beauty....











.......Extreme Cold

The first of the YEAR brought a cold snap with 30-80knott winds that disabled all communications...for days! Temperatures in my tent dropped to 10F....cold.

The streams froze ......And the sky was grey....
But like Colorado.... the sun has emerged again (it is SUMMER after all!)
And we are back in business.......more work to follow.......

NEW YEAR

A New YEAR ...and a NEW Helicopter:

We received transport from our friends, the KIWIS,
in their new, pumped up helicopter
(they call it the Porsche of the Astars...)
I like to call it the: BLUE TIGER!

The BLUE TIGER takes us to the Wright Valley
...and the Onyx River......
Over what is called: Gargoyle Ridge:

One of the most exciting flights of my life.....
