Hi Everyone,
I'm now home in Maine and have had a great first few days back in the classroom. I'm not at school tomorrow, however, as I am taking a group of 8th graders on a backpacking trip in the New Hampshire White Mountains for the weekend. It's going to be quite warm....in the 80s. My wife made a great comment earlier tonight...that I have had more than a 100 Degree F shift in temperature between now and the coldest night on the acclimatization climb.
Seth was finally able to send some pictures from the Mount Hunter Ice DivideAn ice divide is analogous to a watershed divide. An ice sheet divide separates opposing flow directions of ice on an ice sheet. that show a little bit about the drilling operation, and yes, there are some shots of the core. It sounds like the work is going well and my guess is that they might be done one 750 foot core and will now work for another one. I hope they don't run out of Oreos. Enjoy the pictures. Ken
