Tas's Aurora Basin North Ice Coring Blog

The Aurora Basin North ice core will be drilled at a site 550km inland of Casey Research Station in December-January 2013/14. This is a personal blog that will follow my experience over the next few months as I traverse in, help get the camp set up and start coring. Expect a text-based blog, as we will have limited satellite emails. Other news from expedition will be posted and updated at the Australian Antarctic Division's site: www.antarctica.gov.au

Is a picture worth a thousand (or 1300) kilometres?

Here is a map of progress so far. In an attempt to make it small enough to
fit the satellite email, it may be barely legible, so excuse the
experiment.

Anyway, the take-home message is the red line showing progress so far.
Waypoint markers on the red line are end-of-day markers. Waypoint markers
between the red line and ABN are the intended route we will follow over
coming days.
