Extraordinary + vivid account of #fieldwork to visit #ThwaitesGlacier in #antarctica in #NewYorker.

I've not visited the continent (yet), but so much is familiar from #Arctic #Fieldwork : equipment that doesn't quite work, creative problem-solving, sea sickness, an environment that "was doomed on its own timescale, yet seemed ancient and eternal", the #InternationalCollaborations in #research.

Mostly though *I can't wait* to see the data that's been collected..
