FInal pit of this trip

Weather today was beautiful, and we started early to help Gifford with his last melt experiment pit of the season. In addition, it was Gifford's turn to "house mouse" (see my post from 2006 about this duty), so I worked on many of his chores while he worked the pit, since this is really his experiment. Above, Gifford cleans the pit wall to prepare for visible and NIR photographs to view stratigraphy.
