Lake Fryxell with the Canada Glacier
Lake Bonnie and the Polar Haven for sample collections. 4 team members are on the shore collecting ice for water
My first drilling experience.... Yea it was awesome....
This is how deep we had to drill to get to the water beneath the ice
The West Lobe Bonnie Polar Haven with the Taylor Glacier in the background right before a storm
Lake Bonney and us playing on the ATV
We found a penguin randomly in the ceiling of this ice coverage.. poor little guy must have been lost
A picture of West Lobe Bonney and the Taylor glacier as seen from the Bonnie Riegel dividing the two lobes.
Exploring the benefacts we found some cool rocks and here I am peering through one of them..
And this is another one which gave a great view of the Matterhorn Mountain
Both lobes of the Lake with the Bonnie Riegel separating them as seen from the benefacts
Blood Falls on the Taylor Glacier at West Lobe Bonney as seen from the helicopter on our way to Lake Vanda

We have to hook the helicopter with our helo boxes in order to transport all of our equipment from one lake to the next. He helicopter hovers while we latch it on...
Me inside the helicopter at Lake Hoare... The pilot was nice enough to let me "play" inside hahah
At lake Hoare we had a great Thanksgiving meal!
The Seuss Glacier on the edge of Lake Hoare right as the sun begins to hide behind the mountain
The team right before our hike back to Lake Bonney: This hike would take us 4 hours after eating way too much for Thanksgiving (great opportunity to burn off those calories hahah
Good bye to one glacier and hello to the next
