fall hours before our departure from Bird Bluff, and have situated
ourselves in our most spectacular camp site yet, near Mount Lockhart and
overlooking an even grander mountain range. The camp is dwarfed by the
rock and ice cliffs above us and we have been hearing the nearby ice
falls twice an evening and avoiding swooping snow petrels (think a much
cuter version of 'The Birds') The whole new area is absolutely stunning.
We had a breathtaking recce day out and about through the region
followed by two days of geology in lovely weather.
Today we had our first transportation incident...one of the team members
parked a Skidoo in a foot of water. Obviously, this is not the best
place to park a Skidoo. See the attached picture. The team member in
question noted 'I thought it was only a little bit of water on ice...'.
To our relief, the Skidoo was rescued from the water by David Hasselhoff
and returned home. We are now preparing for a mid-season team changover
that will substantially increase the average age of the team. Bring out
the Bingo cards!
