Notes
The walk to the site is strenuous currently due to the melting snow pack. The site is accessible but the ice is thin. In the next few days ice sheets will melt and move and the site will become unsafe until the ice has broken up off shore.
The ice looks thick but it is not water is travelling below the ice. This can be seen where overflow has made air pockets.
