Usually, the team-members would spend the days between Christmas and New Years’ socialising and taking a break, rather than working. Not so when you are on your way to Antarctica. The last couple of days the CHAQ2020 team have been busy picking up the last bits and pieces for the expedition – parts for the Automatic Weather Station, various tools and a toilet seat for comfort in the field. Final equipment tests are run and packing everything into Zarges and Pelican boxes becomes a sophisticated game of Tetris. The team did take a well-deserved break, however, welcoming the New Year and all the adventures it may bring with a rooftop- barbecue.
Happy 2020 from the CHAQ 2020 team!
