Dear Mr Martin,

will you be sleeping in an igloo? What about toilets? Why is the lake not in the center of the crater?

Thanks for letting us participate!

Wish we could be there!

Gerda,
When we get to the lake we will be sleeping in Baloks. These look like shipping containers (see the picture on the projcet overview page, or wait till I get to the lake and I will post some more pictures.)
No toilets...just an out-house... :(
The lake question is a tough one. This is a big topic of scientific interest! We think that in the last 3 million years there have been different erosion processes at work causing more sediment to build up on the western shore. We may learn more about this process when we successfully get cores from the lake! I will try and keep you posted.
T-Mart...
