@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgThese ice lenses are giving me a tough time in processing today, they're everywhere. But if I believe the satellite data, they also shouldn't exist. It appears we are underestimating surface melt* in Antarctica.
*But not runoff! These are refrozen meltwater layers

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgLeaving Antarctica with computers full of data, notebooks full of notes numbers and just about as much kit as we brought ( some waste for correct disposal). Travelling out via the gobsmacking #WhiteDesert.
#Antarctica, you've been wonderful, who knows when we'll meet again... #iQ2300

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgThe weather is not promising for fieldwork today, windy and snowy and cloudy, so it's time to sit indoors and listen to some Sibelius while I start to formulate some papers on our research findings so far...

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgNot to mention how are we supposed to sleep with this going on outside under the midnight sun...
