Long Day at Cape Evans
by Francois Cazenave ~ November 24th, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized.Busy day.
Very stressful preparation in the morning.
Drove to Cape Evans (2 hours in tucker).
Deployed SCINI on other side of iceberg.
Battery died in transponder so lost navigation.
Changed battery, redeployed SCINI.
Got the science done for Stacy.
Walked around the iceberg a couple times, beautiful afternoon, no wind.
Tucker broke down on way back. DJ and Bob had snowmobiles and were in McMurdo before us so they came to get us with the Pitt Bull.
Took us 4 hours to get back. Missed party for Rob and Bill Stone’s presentation.
Packed for helicopter trip to Heald.
Had dinner around 11:30PM
We’re gone all day tomorrow so I don’t have time to write a detailed post. Enjoy the pictures
The iceberg around which we deployed SCINI.
Sea water came out of a crack and formed a frozen pond.
View on Evans wall, and the dive hut.
Wind-made art in the snow.
Broken down tucker. Waiting for a ride.
