Today was our last day of sampling. The weather was beautiful. I needed to take 5 snow layer samples today. After sampling, my fingers were quite cold. I did manage to find time to take a picture of Hannah and Brandon taking the last surface snow sample.
I don’t know what I will do in the mornings without our mile walk to our sampling site.
Afterward, we started to pack. It will take us several days to pack everything. Some crates need to go into a “DO NOT FREEZE” area while other crates need to go into the “KEEP VERY VERY FROZEN - minus 20 degrees Celsius” area.
Some of our crates have been totally buried in snow. It is like finding buried treasure on the beach, except we have snow instead of sand.
What was inside? Well, I guess it isn’t exactly as exciting as finding buried treasure on the beach.
Well, here are a few of the crates that we need to fill with our equipment. It will be a busy afternoon.
