Alex is attending the Snow Craft 1 training tonight. It's a two-day/one-night training, all about what to do if one was to get stranded for a night away from campus. The course is nicknamed 'Happy Camper'. Alex is learning how to build a snow wall to protect her from the wind, how to cook when its so cold, how to use the radios, identifying and treating hypothermia, things like that. The course started at 8:30 this morning and will finish up ~3:00 tomorrow. Alex will sleep on the permanent ice shelf tonight (which is like a glacier on top of the ocean), either in a tent or some kind of snow structure she'll learn how to build.
Good times.
