We have finished as much science as we can here at Lake Bonney and have been packing up our camp to fly to Lake Fryxell tomorrow. We drilled 6 holes in the ice and took samples from each. This isn't as many as we had hoped, but it has also been colder than we anticipated and that slowed us down quite a bit.
It has warmed up here! Its 29°F outside right now! A heat wave! Hopefully this will make our work at Lake Fryxell a little easier...?
Here's a video of some bits from Lake Bonney that you might find curious:
