    PS: Does Reading have a Uni??
    I was based at Rothera, but at field stations Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu. I was drilling firn cores on the Peninsula with in-situ AWS's, at Latady, Rothschild and Smiley Islands. The food was quite good, and so was the skiing.

    Actually, I lied about the food.

      Sure but I asked you to be accurate, which core sites were you at at Sky Blu
      Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

      Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

          I didn't drill at Sky Blu, it was a holding station for Smiley Island. I don't know if you know this or not but the weather down there can be jolly frightful. Besides there's no firn at Sky, it's 2km-odd up. It's predominantly used because of the blue ice runway for the Dash 7's as a way station for getting fuel inland.

          You must be as bored as me to keep this stirring!

            Okay then which core site at Fossil Bluff. BTW you won't find the answer on T'interweb you will only know if you have been there (Guess what? )

            So shoot: which core site

              Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                Didn't drill at Fossil either! Also a sit and wait station. I have some jolly nice pictures here though:

                The one with the red building is Fossil Bluff. It has an Aga inside that runs on Avtur. Makes good scones though.

                  Well done that man. You know more about Climate change than "Helen"

                    Right, you really are either dim or not reading. I thought you'd pick up on the reference to cows and paddyfields. And you're wrong btw.

                      OMG: you are a slippery one.

                      Okay one final question, what are the 6 main drilling techniques used by the international teams in the big freezer

                      Hurry now Google awaits
