BLUUUUR

The last four days in Kangerlussuaq flew by and we were always busy! So I really didn't have much time to blog. But the last few days we had were amazing! Most notably we went back to point 660 and got to drill holes in the ice to place ablation sticks in. :) I also managed to fall on the ice... again. But hey "I bruised my butt in Greenland" Awesome.



Eating ice I chipped off point 660


My favorites, Dana and Aggu :)



Drilling holes on the ice!

Then the next day we went out and dug soil pits near lake Ferguson and analyzed the soil we had. We dug all the way down to the permafrost. Which isn't what I expected. It's not like ice under the soil, it's literally FROZEN dirt. After group awesome dug our soil pit, I sat in it. :) I sat on Greenlandic permafrost, yeah. 






All in all, this trip is more amazing than I ever would have imagined! I'm so thankful I was able to experience it. :) 

Much love,
Sydney
