Question:
Where do you live while you’re drilling?

This is going to be really good this time because we are going to be at Scott Base. The first drilling….the first hole to be drilled is close to Scott Base, and it’s going to be hard enough to actually do the drilling. So for the very first one, we are actually going to be there, and travel around about 16 kilometres across the ice shelf each day to go out to the drill rig. And the drillers will do that, they will work in shifts. Other times I’ve been to Antarctica I’ve lived in tents, I’ve lived in, you probably know them as igloos, hedgehogs that you can build, or huts, and some of those huts we have actually built ourselves. So it can vary, but this time it’s going to be pretty cruisey.
