To be honest, I am overwhelmed with jealousy.
I have drilled holes in lake ice with my students and then dropped a tethered video camera down to see stuff on the bottom of our lakes but all I can do is move the camera up, down and twist! Now I really want an ROV!
The photo of the helicopter making a “hot” pick up in a white Antarctic location is amazing. My students and I are learning a great deal from such photos and descriptions because it shows the logistical complexities of your work. I think they are starting to see that you must really love what you do and that is why you work so hard and have such courage.
Ques: I am one of those folks in Upstate NY that likes to brag about our lake effect snow and I was happy to wake up to our first few inches today. What range of temp and how much snow have you actually seen falling since you set up camp?
