Well, yesterday was a big day!  Thanks to the Icefield Discovery pilot, Tom, we were able to get our entire team out of the field over a 24 hour period.  What a successful season! General stats are as follows:

1. 81 meters of ice core drilled (one 64 m core and one 17 m core)
2. 40+ km of ice-penetrating radar to measure ice thicknesses
3. 40+ km of GPR to measure shallow horizons for recent snow accumulation studies
4. 20 short-term ice flow velocity stakes measured
5. Dozens of caramelo bars, snickers bars, and coffee crisp bars eaten
6. About a 1 pound bottle of Sriracha Hot sauce consumed (mostly by Dom!)
7. Some other crazy Habanero hot sauce consumed by Steve!
8. A very healthy and happy smiling team coming out of the field!

I’ll write more about our experiences and research soon but, a video  (courtesy of Justin’s camera work) and photos (courtesy of Karl and myself) are worth a thousand words. Here are some teasers to start with.  Enjoy!
