Thoughts on the tragedy on Breiðamerkurjökull.

Always great to help out with glaciology missions. Went out with a team of Belgian scientists the other day to retrieve the seismometers we had placed a week before.
Been a while since I posted.
Here's a shot from a recent #iceclimbing trip with two amazing clients. First time climbers and progressed from zero to clean moves in vertical to slightly overhanging ice!
Today was my last ice cave tour of this season. I'm going to miss those places!
My program for April: WFR (Wilderness First Responder) recertification, a few glacier hikes and snowmobile tours, and a number of alpine treks to the highest peaks of Iceland.
About 40 hours until return to normality.
Yes those are normal (slow) hard disks and not SSDs, because during normal operations their speed doesn't matter to me but their price does.
Why don't I run CCC more frequently, you ask? Maybe I should, but a weekly rhythm works well for remembering to attach the second image drive (good idea to have some backups air gapped most of the time, just in case something really screwy happens).
Your infrequent reminder to make backups, and backups of your backups.
Bad: Can't access anything my external drive (called WD-DATA, because it's a WD drive and contains DATA). Apparently APFS fell over itself.
Good: I have Carbon Copy Cloner set up to mirror everything on this drive to another, identical disk so data loss is negligible.
Better: Everything also goes into the cloud with Backblaze, so the few things that CCC didn't catch since the last copy can just be downloaded from there.
Never forget to put down the camera and just admire the view with your own eyeballs.
