Remaining scientists at Scott Base waiting for good weather to proceed to the ICDP SWAIS2C drill site...

Today, those of us at Scott Base worked on entering the science party into the ICDP database system (mDIS) in preparation for drilling. In the afternoon, we geared up for a hike to the top of Observation Hill, where there is a memorial cross erected in January 1913 to commemorate Captain Scott and his party, who lost their lives on the return journey from the South Pole in March 1912. After descending, we walked along the trail that encircles Observation Hill, getting lots of nice views of the Transantarctic Mountains and some seals hanging out on the sea ice.
