"Lake Taylor" and the end of sampling

Tunneling operations ceased on the 25th of November due to rising water at the tunnel entrance. Luckily, we had collected all of the samples that we had planned and this event did not change or negatively impact all of our work. On the last day of work at the field site it was necessary to expeditiously remove all of our samples and equipment from the tunnel. See photos below.
At this point we are transporting all of the ice back to MCM. We collected nearly 1000 kg (2100 lbs.) of ice from TG and we are currently preparing these samples for shipment to the U.S. and Belgium for future analysis.
