Week One: Ice Drill Crew

The first week of working on the ice drilling crew was great! We spent all week setting up drill camp which basically involves connecting lots of hoses, electrical cables, moving buildings around and finding equiptment and supplies. We have been making great progress and at the end of the week got the drill tower and TOS buildings moved to the hole sites. Looking into the firn holes is spooky, such a long deep hole into the ice!

 The bulldozer drivers have been digging the ice top pits and I think they may been done by now. It was cool to see three of them out in the dark sector digging.



Waiting for the twin otter to take off so we can go to lunch.
