The first wave of our 2024-2025 field team has successfully arrived at McMurdo Station. Over the last two weeks, members of the team have been catching up on and learning essential skills to ensure a successful deep field mission. They’ve learned to set up tents on ice, new knots for securing gear, and have been busy preparing their equipment before heading out onto the ice.

As the NSF COLDEX 2024-2025 team prepares for our third field season, we’re giving you a sneak peak at what they’ll be doing and a chance to meet the team.
