Drilling and Birthday Celebration

Shortly after arriving on the ice of Antarctica, the team was hit with a colossal snow and wind storm. Julia spent 20 hours in her tent alone with limited Wi-Fi and supplies (Oreos? salt?), which resulted in a partial burial of her tent. Thankfully, conditions improved and they were able to start drilling for the ice core samples. The last picture of her is in front of the drilling tent. They have just a few more meters to reach their goal and a few days left to do it. Praying for continued safety and stable weather.

In DC, we celebrated Steven's 55th birthday. Mom took us to see, As You Like It, a fun mash-up of Shakespeare and The Beatles. The Sarrges enjoyed tons of snow and skiing in Park City, UT.
