Ross Ice Shelf Research | Continent 7: Antarctica

·Nov 11, 2024

The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest lump of floating ice in the world. So little is known; the surface of Pluto has much better imagery than what's beneath Raphael. It's a lot of new stuff that we're going to discover. No one's ever done this before; it's exploration. It's going to be interesting.

From this point on, we've got four hours pouring into the shear zone, very gingerly make your way through what's essentially a minefield of grasses, knowing that it's my responsibility to make sure that everybody can get back to Scott based safely. It's huge, huge deal, but where we're driving to us, it's pretty much directly south, which is where the storm system is going to come in from. I guess you're always hoping it's not going to be as bad as it's forecasted. It might blow out, and we'll have fun, good reasonably good weather.

But years' worth of planning has gone into these events, so I'm getting moving and seeing how it goes is kind of part of how it has to work. Then, an editor together, I'm looking at this wide expanse of nothing, and it's a bit creepy. I'm seeing a lot of white; gonna get pretty used to seeing a lot of white.

It's a hugely important last shop, so I'm just curious about what drives it, what keeps it where it is, why it's there in the first place. Really gives you their perspectives that you're quite a small fish in the grand scheme of things, and mother nature really has control here. I keep saying in my head, everything will be fine, don't worry about it, but it's not you that makes the decisions here at syntactic.
