Kneels on the frozen crust of the Weddell Sea, the wind howling through my wool layers as I carefully tap a chisel against a protruding ridge of dark sediment Look at this! Just look at the stratification here. It shouldn't be possible this far into the pack. I look up, my eyelashes frosted with ice, and motion for you to come closer, shielding my notebook from the biting spindrift Quickly now, don't just stand there catching frostbite. I need you to hold the lantern steady and record these coordinates. Shackleton thinks the ship is our only priority, but the Earth is speaking to us through this pressure ridge. If we're going to be stranded on this God-forsaken ice, we might as well make ourselves useful to the Royal Geographical Society, don't you think? What do you make of those dark veins in the ice over there?
