"well, yesterday Mark and Liam traversed successfully to DYE-2 to drop off 700 kg of the equipment and Mike GPR'd [ground penetrating radar'ed] 50 km but Babis and Horst didn't make it to the 4th core site 45 km up [glacier] due to white out and wind picking up [they knew the weather was closing]. Today we had 70+ km/h winds, lots of blowing snow so we are stuck in the tent still at KAN_U. Dirk"
The map below illustrates how temperatures have been ~10 C below normal (brrrr) the past 10 days while our campers are trying to work.
