from civilization, this is very civilized. We have a awesome cook that
treat us with good food and loads of cake.
I sleep in "Red dome 2" witch is a huge round tent/structure where there
are room for 8, but we are only 3 sleeping there now. The only real
reminder that we are away from civilization is the toilet facilities. There
are 3 small tents where there have been dug a deep pit under. A flag is
raised so others can tell that the tent is in use.
Yesterday we had "Saturday" witch is a party day, half day of work and
half day of partying. The last ting that I had expected in the middle of
the ice-sheet was a dessert of ice-cream (coffee/Kalua) with strawberry's
among other fruits. Is was heaven!
Today I'm getting ready for the night shift. In the CFA lab where we melt
a pice of the ice and analysis the water for chemical traces, I am on the
night sift, 12 hour shift, so 1900 (7PM) is going to be 0700 (7AM) for me.
The weather is, so fare, been grate. Low winds and temperatures between 5
to 13 minus degrees Celsius. It is actually a problem for the drillers
since the temperature difference in the drilling trench and in the ice core
they are getting up is so big that the core quality is low. The have tried
to cover the drilling tent with snow to increase the albedo.
