There and back again

I made it back to the field! 

Due to weather delays and an overwhelming number of samples to be counted, I had a long break between my field excursions, but I made it out! We went to Lake Hoare to collect soils and water an ongoing experiment. It was a beautiful day and this site is one of the best.

Freezing cold but still a beautiful valley



We were planning on staying the night here, there is a main hut, lab, and lots of tents, but there was a winter storm warning so we decided to come back to McMurdo. It turned out to be a good decision, if we had stayed we would have been stuck there for a few days! There are too many samples to run for that kind of nonsense.
