This is how we found the base station on arrival - all intact amazingly!

Unloading the helicopter bag while it rests one ski on te ice!

The Briksdalsbreen glacier as seen in July 2006. It later lost a lot from the right side as a portal openned up.

The new smaller probes (top) fit down the holes easier

The new probe hardware is smaller and has a high power 173MHz radio (right side)

Probes testing on the table in the cabin

Kathryn and Jane lowered the probes using fishing line as usual

Al and Dave took depth-soundings of the lake in a (small!) boat. Using the dGPS for position.

Jane, Pari, Kathryn and Matt debug the radar (again)

Matt and Pari bring down "some ice" for an experiment! (yes its plenty!)

The big core drill was tricky and involved a big team!

The "lab" in the cabin

Kirk, David and Kathryn toast a successful pack-up on the last day
