Boget, Johnson and Aagaard preparing the melt hole through which the
mooring will be lifted. Boget holds poles that are attached to a melting
cuthead and copper ring. Hot water is pumped to nozzles on the bottom
of the ring. As the ice melts, the men rotate the ring to keep the ice
melting evenly.

them to drag equipment to plow the runway used by Twin Otter supply
planes.

A chopper is used by the team to search for the location of the 2001
mooring. Later some team members use the chopper to reach locations
where they can take conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) measurements.
