A wonderful article written by Amy Ringrose @bas.ac.uk, explaining what ice core scientists actually do! Have a read to see what I'll be up to with the ice from the Brunt.

And that's the season over. Halley has such a special place in my heart. It's so rare a glaciologist gets to be part of station life the way you do at Halley. A proper little family for three months. ❄️ Nowhere else quite like it! @bas.ac.uk

No better way to end the season than getting to play around in a dozer for the morning pushing snow! 🚜

A beautiful blue sky day digging a big hole, visited by a Skua. Some last minute equipment servicing before the season ends

5 weeks later;
4 bore holes
1.5 tonnes of ice cores
64 seismometers
2 km of fibre optic
200 km of radar
11 GPS sites
And lots of games of bridge...
It's time to go home 😴

Picking up the seismometers after they've been deployed for 5 weeks, and this one had some little footprints from a curious Skua! I wonder if I'll see any pecking in the data 🐦

Every evening we sit and wait for a satellite call from Rothera to check our field team of four is all ok. This evening's call was accompanied by a slowly lowering sun on the horizon. The summer season slowly drawing to a close 🌅

Bang, bop, boop, bash, snow goes mush, do it again. The glamour of geophysics 🔨

A quick visit from Ollie and his twin otter and that's all our ice cores picked up and on their way to Halley!! Now just to let the seismometers do their thing for a few more days, and then home time!!

Today we recovered a mega 2.4 m long core! Annoyingly we can't take it home this long as our ice core boxes are only 90 cm. So she had to get cut up 🪚!

Ice from the bottom of our first hole 130 m down! Now to pack up the tent and move to our next site and do it all over again.

When you go to measure an ice core, but it's actually a tiny, lost, Antarctic pigeon. Got to keep yourself busy whilst the winch goes up and down🧶🐦
