At the end of last week we had to go out to a nearby island and pull the data off of a little weather station. This weather station is looking at temperatures above ground and in the moss over several years. After getting dropped off on the far side of the island to do the science work we hiked back across the island to the closer landing site. It was the perfect day for a nice winter wonderland walk.
Lichen in snow.
Lichen in rime.
It was a perfectly clear and calm day so we took advantage of the half hour that the sun was above the glacier.
View from the high point of the island.
Neat bit of ice on the boat ride back to station.
And the sun went back behind the glacier just as we arrived back on station.
