Return to Kanger / short trips around Kanger

This is the lateral moraine from the inland ice as we drove up toward it. One would think after being on the ice for a month, we could stay away for at least one day, but apparently not!



This is me pretending to look significant next to the ice sheet. What a beautiful place!






This shows the texture of the ice near the ice edge. It's perty cool. Well, actually, it's pretty cold. The tents were from another set of scientists doing research near the ice edge.




This is a photo right at the edge of the inland ice sheet. Oh sheet!



Meredith, Lora and I took a bike ride out to the "harbor" in Kanger. This is a photo of me being a dork (shocking) near the harbor. As near as I can tell, the harbor is one building with the primary function of leaving folks behind when they arrive only one hour before the scheduled ferry departure time. But, I guess that's another story...



This is a photo of the KISS science support facility in Kanger. This building houses the scientists and all support staff while we wait for a plane to fly to one of the bases on top of the ice or to fly back to Albany, NY.
