Stormy Sunday

The storm reduces the visibility in camp.

The wind was still high today so activities where restricted to be inside buildings or in the trenches. The day began gently with a very good brunch prepared by Lizzie and Tim. In the science trench the team has become very ambitious and they managed to finish the processing of the NEEM 2010 S2 ice core. Well done!

At dinner time the storm suddenly stopped. Within few hours the wind dropped from 28 kt to 0 kt and the temperature dropped from -5°C to -25°C. Several from the camp took an evening stroll to enjoy the clearing of the sky.

No more deep drilling and logging.
Final logged depth is: 2537.36 m
All ice processed except the brittle ice from 1027.40m to 1154.45m (bag 1869-2099)
