Yesterday, Jonathan Westin this update from the camp at Snow Hill.
There is full activity in the Winter Station these days; in Gösta and Erik's room, Gunnar has set up a drawing studio. There he assembles hundreds of measuring points he has collected from all over the hut, and translates these into floor plans and section cuts using traditional drawing methods. Gustaf and Ole's room has been turned into a conservation lab where blue boxes with items are brought, inspected, and cared for by Valeria. This is an activity that extends up to the attic where the artefacts are repackaged and stored. In José and Otto's room, I have set up scanning equipment to capture in 3D some of the more interesting objects. This has proven challenging, since many of the artefacts are either very dark or shiny, something neither laser nor structured light handle well. The main room is now a photo studio, and Kati is documenting each item as they move between the different stations.
Down in the camp, Emanuel, Pablo and Dag work on the weather station (now named “AWS Bodman” for obvious reasons) with the aim to have it up and running this afternoon.
