This is the 'Happy Place' known as the Trajer Ridge Melon. Standing on this small rocky outcrop that is alongside a massive 7km tongue of ice that stretches off the plateau. Put in for science in the late 80's it has simply just managed to hold on as it is a great spot to come for field trips and recreational persuits.
All work of course! This is just one of the smaller cracks that you have to negotiate along the way it is about two feet across at this point and it has only a thin film of ice before a botomless drop to your death!
Still working, following the group as we come back down towards the Melon. We are actually walking along the tongue of ice from the plateau. It is steeper and sliperier than it looks.
More cool bubbles frozen in the ice of one of the small water pools along the way. Must be the Antarctic frogs farting (ok blowing bubbles) under the ice and then getting stuck in time.
