Today... frustrated in drilling, we only went another 15cm. I joined a traverse to the center of the crater, and collected specimens from the central uplift area with some hydrothermal evidence.
dangerpudding also went (her first trip away from base camp, yay!), and Sathya made an excellent dinner in her absence.
my tent
Since Les asked about living spaces... here's a shot of my tent, with a view inside. |

Drill was jammed
Several times today, the drill jammed or choked. We made little progress, only about 15 cm. |

Sarah vs Qimmiq
This afternoon I joined a traverse to the center of the crater. Sarah had the day off, so joined us. Here she is... note that her helmet is on and strapped. ;) |

Arctic poppy
Growing against the elements, out at ground-zero... |

Sarah in the crater
She handled her ATV very well... here's a photo taken today in the crater. |

Pascal stuck...
I was second in the line of ATVs, behind Pascal. He decided to try a path down from our ridge. I thought it looked dubious and pulled up short. Here's Pascal stuck in the mud... |

Hanagud dinner
Sathya has made an Indian dinner once during every DAME field season, the past 3 years. Tonight was excellent... here he is at dinner. And a part of the crater rim (other side of the MS Hab) was named in his honor. |
