Cold Weather Survival Camp

/We marched 20 minutes to a camp site on the ice shelf.  The day was cold windy and snowy.  Visibility 1 mile or so.and  could not see any of the land markings.  20 of us coordinated activities and labor to build a  wind break made of snow blocks.  the blocks were rectangle shaped, about the size of a box of printing paper.  The wall was 70 feet long and 3 blocks tall.  the Blocks were dug and cut from our designated quarry.  in the picture aboveyou see blocks being cut and carried from the quarry 

Other set up tents, 2 scott tents, and 7 mountain tents. We also established a kitchen and set up stoves to start heating water to mix with our dehydtrated dinner pouch.   the tools and supplies duplicate what one would find in a survival kit.  Each  kit is  set up for  two people.

aWe spent the night in our tents ans woke to breakfest, out meal.  We than  immediatly started taking down camp.  A few hours later the clouds lifted and we were able to see Mt Eribus.  The active valcanoe that created Ross Island.  the last phot of me posing in foreground of this massive mountain

The valcnaoe is 20 miles away.  the snow mobile is the instructors.  I wish we had access to a ride.  I lost 0ver 6 lbs this weekend. 

Thank you for your posts and well wishes.  I am happy to be able to share my adventure.  It keeps me motivated to find the extreme sights
