I've been up in the North Canterbury mountains this week, helping to teach our third-year undergraduate field ecology research course at #LincolnUniversityNZ. It was great fun, as always, helping students to carry out their first ecology research projects.

I'm collapsed back home, and very tired, after a week of long days outside then nights spent at the moth light. I've got a small mountain of photos to sort out and upload. That can wait until another day but here's a small taste.

These ice lenses are giving me a tough time in processing today, they're everywhere. But if I believe the satellite data, they also shouldn't exist. It appears we are underestimating surface melt* in Antarctica.

*But not runoff! These are refrozen meltwater layers
