After having completed our snow sampling and installation of the passive samplers for inorganic and organic compositions of the airborne particles, we celebrated the drilling milestone depth of 200m!! Porto on ice for everyone (or whisky…). At 9 pm, the CHASE and glaciologist teams gather into the 12 feet container for reparations, working, drinking and also eating… Antarctica, the place for cold icy immensity and warm human nearness.
