Vår sikkerhetsekspert Harvey Goodwin hadde redningskurs den 23. desember. Vi fokuserte på sikkerhet og redning dersom noen skulle havne ned i bresprekker. Vi vurderte satellittbilder for potensielle sprekkområder, og skal underveis bruke radar for å vurdere risikoen for sprekker.

Our safety expert Harvey Goodwin instructed a glacier rescue course on 23rd of December. All of us experienced how to rescue us from the crevasses. We have assessed high-resolution satellite images for potential crevasse areas, and will use ground-penetrating radar to assess risk of snow-bridged crevasses. If necessary, Harvey uses a chain thaw to open a small hall and get into the crevasse to measure the thickness of the snow bridge.
