Extremes.........

This morning when I rolled out of my tent, I was greeted by clear skies and a very light glimmer of frost. This was the first morning that the temperatures have dipped below freezing since arriving.

I collected more GPR data on the the two holes that I have been working with. What a glorious day to be working in the field. There wasnıt a cloud in the the sky, and a nice breeze blowing across the glacier. The breeze would alternate between crisp, when it blew from up valley and across the ice to quite warm when it blew in from a slightly different angle.

Back in camp, the temperature climbed up to near 80o by the afternoon. Thatıs nearly a 50o temperature swing in just a few hours........... amazing!

Iım writing this entry early today as I plan to hike a considerable distance up the glacier this evening. The lower level of the sun should give some spectacular lighting for picture taking.

This is a view to the south of camp. The snow covered Mount Sergeant Robinson is framed by the green of lower peaks in the forground.
