TopHat.

of the ice shelf as you drive over to the lab. If
you look really close you can see ripples in the ice.
They look like frozen waves. This is where the ice
meets the land and the ice has been pushed and pushed
until it has no choice but to go up.
New
and improved truck! This snowcar is an experimental
vehicle here.
