We don’t have much new to report — still waiting for the resuppply flight, and cold winds blowing around the snow are making it virtually impossible to hunt meteorites, so another tent day today. . . .
But we have video to document the conditions! The clip is short, but gives an idea of both the visual and audible conditions. It is quieter in our tents, but only slightly. Likewise, the (yellow) tent fabric blocks some of that lovely bright sun, but not too much — earlier pictures of inside the tents give a good idea of the 24-hour conditions.
Last night’s measure of wind chill was -35 F (roughly the same in C). And we think the wind has even picked up a bit since last night!
