| D.J. leads the way, down the hatch |
|
|
| It's about 30 feet down |
|
| The underice chamber; the seismometers are in a building at
the far end |
|
| The tour group |
|
| It's actually warmer in here than outside |
|
| D.J. shows us around and explains |
|
|
| The seismometer table |
|
|
| This chamber is slowly caving in; already you can see the beams
that hold it up are bent and splitting (the camera is level,
the ceiling is not!) |
|
|
| Jon's ready to take pictures of the ice crystals |
|
|
| Crystals here grow huge |
|
|
| ...and perfect |
|
| These crystals are over 2 inches across (no kidding!) |

| I learned that I could get nice pictures by using
an external light source rather than my flash |
