Another science stop accomplished
We arrived at one of our last science stops at lunch. After many weeks of practice, the work went smoothly and we basically finished late in the evening.

We are at about one fourth of the distance between Polar of Inaccessibility and the South Pole. Here a short science stop was planned and the ice core drillings (totally 40 meters) and snow pit studies were accomplished in a very efficient manner. We are quite well “drilled” by now! In the evening, we watched a movie (again). We can not complain about the facilities – they are of a very high standard and appreciated by everyone.
