Where do the geologists stay when doing research in the field?
They operate from the sledges they tow behind their skidoos. On these sledges they carry all their equipment, food and medical supplies, and spares for their vehicles. When they make camp, they pitch tents very similar to the original design used by the early explorers, which is where they live, work, eat, and sleep for the duration of their stay in the field. When they are close to the rocky outcrop Grunehogna in the Ahlmannryggen mountains, they might use the Sarie Marais summer base for a time.
